Presentation 


INETEEN  MONTHS  of  war  have  shown  as  clearly  as  a  half 
century  of  peace  the  wisdom  of  Senator  Morrill,  President 
Lincoln,  and  the  Congress  of  1862,  in  founding  the  land  grant 
colleges  as  the  educational  bulwarks  of  the  nation,  both  in 
peace  and  war.  These  institutions  were  prepared;  their 
curricula  that  had  served  the  needs  of  peace  for  a  half  a  century  were 
readily  adapted  to  the  demand  of  war;  their  technical  courses  not  only 
reinforced  the  military  efforts,  but  aided  directly  in  the  vast  effort  of 
mobilizing  the  natural  resources  of  the  State  and  nation.  In  short, 
the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Colleges  have  made  good. 

In  presenting  this  volume,  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  whose 
life  and  service  cover  the  period  beginning  shortly  after  the  ending  of 
the  war  for  Liberty  and  Union  in  the  United  States  and  extending  to 
the  triumphant  ending  of  the  war  for  Liberty  and  Democracy  in  the 
world,  desires  to  place  before  its  graduates,  former  students,  and 
friends  a  brief  summary  of  its  share  in  the  World  War,  with  notes  on 
the  Civil  War  and  the  Spanish- American  War.  In  the  first  of  the  wars 
only  Americans  were  engaged;  in  the  last,  though  all  the  great  nations 
of  the  world  were  belligerents,  America  proved  in  the  end  the  decisive 
factor. 

With  the  new  age  the  College  will  be  confronted  with  many  new 
opportunities  and  duties.  In  preparing  for  the  future  this  institution 
aims  at  still  higher  and  quicker  intellectual  life,  still  better  and  more 
inspiring  teaching,  the  enlargement  of  science  and  knowledge,  and  the 
advancement  of  human  civilization. 

The  A.  and  M.  College  has  already  been  mustered  in  for  the  big  task 
of  reconstruction,  and  backed  by  a  record  of  service  for  forty  years,  it 
confidently  appeals  to  the  generous  citizens  of  the  State  of  Mississippi 
to  provide  it  with  the  means  of  fulfilling  its  purpose. 

J.  Wendell  Bailey, 
Statistical  Secretary  and  Editor  of  the  War  Bulletin.

The  Flag  Goes  By 

Hats  off! 
Along  the  street  there  comes 
A  blare  of  bugles,  a  ruffle  of  drums, 
A  flash  of  color  beneath  the  sky: 

Hats  off! 
The  flag  is  passing  by! 

Blue  and  crimson  and  white  it  shines, 
Over  the  steel-tipped,  ordered  lines. 

Hats  off! 
The  colors  before  us  fly; 
But  more  than  the  flag  is  passing  by. 

Sea-fights  and  land-fights,  grim  and  great, 
Fought  to  make  and  to  save  the  State; 
Weary  marches  and  sinking  ships; 
Cheers  of  victory  on  dying  lips; 

Days  of  plenty  and  years  of  peace; 
March  of  a  strong  man's  swift  increase; 
Equal  justice,  right  and  law, 
Stately  honor  and  reverend  awe; 

Sign  of  a  nation,  great  and  strong 
To  ward  her  people  from  foreign  wrong: 
Pride  and  glory  and  honor — all, 
Live  in  the  colors  to  stand  or  fall. 

Hats  off! 
Along  the  street  there  comes 
A  blare  of  bugles,  a  ruffle  of  drums; 
And  loyal  hearts  are  beating  high: 

Hats  off! 
The  flag  is  passing  by! 

— Henry  Holcomb  Bennett.

The  Civil  War 

1861-1865 

aT  the  outbreak  of  hostilities  between  the  North  and  South,  in 
the  Spring  of  1861,  there  was  no  Mississippi  Agricultural  and 
Mechanical  College,  nor  was  there  any  such  institution  at  the  close 
of  the  war.  There  were,  however,  a  number  of  veterans  of  this  war 
who  were  destined  to  play  an  important  part  in  the  organization  and 
development  of  this  unborn  educational  institution. 

On  February  28,  1878,  just  thirteen  years  after  the  close  of  this 
war,  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  was  chartered, 
and  on  October  6,  1 880,  opened  its  doors  to  the  white  youth  of  the  State. 
From  that  day  to  this,  the  college  has  been  going  forward  by  leaps  and 
bounds.  This  rapid  progress  is  due  largely  to  the  efforts  exerted  by 
the  members  of  the  college  staff  who  served  during  the  Civil  War. 
The  educational  plans  and  policies  of  these  men  are  being  pursued  today 
throughout  the  State,  yea,  the  United  States  of  America,  and  their 
influence  will  be  felt  for  generations  yet  to  come.

The  Blue  and  The  Gray 

The  Women  of  Columbus.  Mississippi,  strewed  flowers  alike  on  the  graves 
of  the  Confederate  and  National  soldiers. 

Sadly,  but  not  with  upbraiding, 
The  generous  deed  was  done; 
In  the  storm  of  the  years  that  are  fading, 
No  braver  battle  was  won ; 
Under  the  sod  and  the  dew, 

Waiting  the  judgment  day; 
Under  the  blossoms,  the  Blue, 
Under  the  garlands,  the  Gray. 

No  more  shall  the  war-cry  sever, 
Or  the  winding  rivers  be  red; 
They  banish  our  anger  forever 
When  they  laurel  the  graves  of  our  dead ! 

Under  the  sod  and  the  dew, 
Waiting  the  judgment  day; 
Love  and  tears  for  the  Blue, 
Tears  and  love  for  the  Gray. 

— Francis  Miles  Finch.

The  Spanish-American  War 

1898 

#I%HEN  the  United  States  of  America  declared  war  upon  Spain, 
Vix  April  21,  1 898,  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College  was  in  its  eighteenth  year  of  active  service.  The  presence  of 
yellow  fever  in  the  State  had  reduced  the  attendance  to  296  students. 
The  United  States  Army  Officer  detailed  for  duty  here  was  relieved 
and  ordered  to  his  command;  and  the  two  pieces  of  artillery  furnished 
by  the  War  Department  for  artillery  drill  and  practice  were  withdrawn. 

The  importance  of  the  Military  Department  of  the  College  is  made 
prominent  and  emphasized  by  the  fact  that  it  contributed  a  large 
number  of  field  and  other  commissioned  officers,  non-commissioned 
officers  and  privates,  for  the  two  volunteer  regiments  furnished  by 
Mississippi  for  service  in  the  Spanish-American  War.

THE  WORLD  WAR 


r  oreword 

ON  the  second  day  of  April,  191  7,  when  the  President  of  the  United 
States  declared  this  nation  to  be  in  a  state  of  war  with  the  Imperial 
Government  of  Germany,  the  educational  institutions  of  the  country 
immediately  joined  hands  with  the  other  national  institutions  in  offering 
themselves  to  our  government.  The  State  and  Federal  offices  were 
flooded  with  tenders  of  university  and  college  men  and  equipment. 
Realizing  that  the  demands  of  the  war  would  profoundly  influence  the 
educational  interest  of  our  country,  as  well  as  the  social  and  industrial 
life,  America's  institutions  of  learning  immediately  placed  themselves 
at  the  disposal  of  the  National  Government  in  their  anxious  desire  to 
render  the  greatest  possible  service  in  the  defense  of  the  country. 

The  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  lost  no  time 
in  perfecting  its  organization  for  war.  In  fact  the  seriousness  of  the 
situation  was  well  understood  several  days  before  the  declaration  of 
war,  and  on  March  31,  1917,  the  faculty  adopted  resolutions  which, 
with  the  approval  and  under  the  direction  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
authorized  President  Smith  to  address  a  communication  to  Governor 
Theodore  G.  Bilbo.  Abstracts  from  this  letter  expressing  the  sentiment 
of  the  faculty  and  student  body  are  quoted,  viz. : 

"In  view  of  the  crisis  with  which  our  nation  is  confronted,  the 
faculty  and  the  senior  class  of  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Me- 
chanical College  beg  to  explain  their  desire  to  cooperate  with  you,  the 
President,  and  the  Congress  to  the  end  that  the  best  solution  of  these 
serious  problems  may  be  found. 

"The  faculty  desire  to  place  the  laboratories  and  scientific  equip- 
ment of  the  institution  at  the  service  of  the  State  and  nation.  The 
senior  class,  cadet  officers,  and  military  staff  offer  their  services,  if  they 
should  be  needed.'' 

The  tender  of  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College 
was  forwarded  through  the  Governor's  Office  to  Secretary  Newton  D. 
Baker,  who,  speaking  for  the  War  Department,  made  the  following 
statement:  "It  is  quite  certain  that  the  Government  will  need  for 
mobilization,  etc.,  a  number  of  buildings  and  the  use  of  land  suitable 
for  drilling;  likewise,  there  will  be  great  need  for  laboratories  such  as 
those  of  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College.'' 

Accordingly,  when  the  immediate  need  for  such  facilities  arose,  the 
Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  was  transformed  into 

[12] 


a  military  training  camp.  The  personnel  of  the  College  staff,  the 
laboratories  and  equipment  were  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  War 
Department.  In  every  way  the  tender  of  services  on  the  part  of  the 
Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  was  made  in  good 
faith.  She  did  her  part  to  preserve  freedom  from  destruction  and  to 
make  possible  the  perpetuity  of  liberty.  Throughout  the  war  she  tried 
in  every  way.  and  with  all  her  resources,  to  aid  in  bringing  victory  to 
the  cause  of  democracy.  Now  that  victory  is  ours,  and  its  history  has 
been  written  in  every  language  known  to  man,  we  feel  confident  that 
our  commonwealth  has  every  reason  to  be  proud  of  the  devotion  and 
service  to  the  cause  rendered  by  her  State  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College.

The  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College 
and  The  World  War 

il%HEN  the  war  cloud  was  drawn  over  the  United  States  of  America, 
VXx  on  tne  second  day  of  April,  1917,  and  we  had  entered  into  the 
most  destructive  war  ever  known  to  mankind,  one  of  the  foremost 
thoughts  upon  the  American  mind  was,  what  place  will  the  universities 
and  colleges  of  the  country  take  in  the  crisis?  Would  their  entire 
student  bodies  enlist,  or  would  they,  the  students,  remain  in  college? 
Would  the  work  of  the  institution  stop,  or  would  they  be  converted 
into  great  war  machines  and  tendered  to  the  Federal  Government? 

By  nightfall  on  the  day  that  the  President  of  the  United  States 
of  America  declared  this  nation  to  be  in  a  state  of  war  with  the  Imperial 
Government  of  Germany,  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  had  begun 
peacefully  and  quietly  to  remould  its  work  to  suit  the  needs  of  the 
nation.  This  accomplishment  was  due  in  part  to  the  fact  that  the 
A.  and  M.  College  has  gradually  and  consciously  developed  an  efficiency 
in  its  many  departments  that  is  truly  American  throughout. 

Having  been  a  military  institution  since  its  inception,  the  College 
naturally  received  its  first  call  from  that  end.  Almost  to  a  man  the 
students  and  faculty  of  the  College  qualified  and  enlisted  in  govern- 
ment service.  Most  of  them  entered  military  service,  some  returned 
to  the  farm  where  they  shouldered  the  hoe  and  rake,  and  others  were 
in  civilian  occupations  directly  related  to  the  military  department.

Our  World  War  Heroes 

^^^HROUGH  the  establishment  of  a  Bureau  of  War  Records  the 
^^^  A.  and  M.  College  has  availed  herself  of  the  opportunity  to 
compile  in  an  authentic  manner  the  interesting  history  that  her  sons 
and  daughters  have  made  during  the  recent  war.  Their  services  were 
offered  and  accepted  by  our  government,  to  fight  "that  the  world  may 
be  made  safe  for  democracy." 

But,  alas,  the  war  has  taken  its  inevitable  toll  of  the  lives  of  these 
young  men.  The  sympathy  of  their  teachers  and  friends  and  all  the 
members  of  the  College  brotherhood  goes  out  to  the  families  who  mourn 
the  loss  of  these  devoted  and  patriotic  young  men.  There  is,  however, 
some  consolation  in  recalling  that  they  have  paid  the  price,  dying  for 
their  country — our  country — and  for  the  noblest  cause  for  which  men 
ever  fought.  While  the  College  mourns  for  her  departed  sons,  it  is 
also  proud  of  them.  Not  only  have  they  reflected  honor  upon  their 
Alma  Mater,  but  their  heroism  ennobles  her.  The  alumni,  former 
students,  and  friends  of  the  College  have  already  expressed  their  hope 
that  the  name  of  every  A.  and  M.  man  who  lost  his  life  in  this  great 
world  war  will  be  perpetuated  for  all  time  by  some  suitable  memorial 
on  the  campus.

How  Sleep  the  Brave 

How  sleep  the  brave  who  sink  to  rest 
By  all  their  country's  wishes  blest! 
When  Spring,  with  dewy  fingers  cold, 
Returns  to  deck  their  hallowed  mold, 
She  there  shall  dress  a  sweeter  sod 
Than  Fancy's  feet  have  ever  trod. 

By  fairy  hands  their  knell  is  rung 
By  forms  unseen  their  dirge  is  sung; 
There  Honor  comes,  a  pilgrim  gray, 
To  bless  the  turf  that  wraps  their  clay; 
And  Freedom  shall  awhile  repair, 
To  dwell  a  weeping  hermit  there! 

— William  Collins.

HENRY  GRADY  ABBOTT 


Henry  Grady  Abbott,  a  noble  son 
of  Chickasaw  and  an  honored  former 
student  of  A.  and  M.  College,  met  death 
in  action  in  the  Argonne  Forest  Drive, 
October  25,  1918. 

Mr.  Abbott,  spent  most  of  his  life  in 
Chickasaw.  In  this  county  he  attended 
the  public  schools,  graduating  in  1914 
from  the  County  Agricultural  High 
School.  In  this  county  he  taught  a 
public  school  for  the  session  of  1914-15, 
and  from  this  county  he  entered  A.  and 
M.  College  in  1915. 

He  was  privileged  to  receive  only  one 
year  of  college  training,  but  during  this  comparatively  brief  period  he 
made  a  deep  impression  on  all  who  knew  him.  The  seriousness  of  his 
purpose,  the  determination  to  use  wisely  his  opportunities,  the  generous 
spirit  of  friendship  he  always  manifested,  the  purity  of  his  life,  the  ex- 
cellent influence  he  exerted  over  his  fellow  students — these  were  some 
of  the  prominent  traits  his  college  mates  will  always  remember. 

His  father  and  mother,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  L.  L.  Abbott,  of  Vardaman, 
five  sisters,  and  one  brother  are  left  to  mourn  his  loss.  With  these  sur- 
viving relatives,  the  A.  and  M.  College  regrets  the  cutting  short  of  a  life 
that  promised  great  usefulness;  but  with  them,  too,  the  College  shares 
the  pride  of  claiming  the  heritage  of  his  stainless  life  and  of  his  heroic 
death.

WILLIAM  H.  ABELE 


William  H.  Abele,  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Ed  Abele,  was  born  in  Memphis, 
Tennessee,  on  December  8,   1891. 

He  graduated  from  the  First  Officers' 
Training  Camp  at  Fort  Benjamin  Harri- 
son, Indiana,  with  the  rank  of  Second 
Lieutenant.  His  efficient  work  as  an 
officer  was  soon  rewarded  by  a  promotion 
to  First  Lieutenant.  In  July,  1918,  when 
the  people  of  the  world  were  looking 
with  hope  toward  the  battlefields  of 
Europe,  Lieutenant  Abele  went  to  France. 
Then  followed  the  days  of  monotonous 
training  behind  the  lines.  Finally  the 
day  of  action  came.  Lieutenant  Abele  did  not  falter  nor  fail;  he  led 
his  men  gallantly  in  the  midst  of  the  turmoil.  This  brave  young  officer 
fell  while  fighting  nobly  near  the  sacred  Verdun.  On  October  27,  less 
than  a  month  before  the  armistice  was  signed,  Lieutenant  Abele  died 
as  a  result  of  his  wounds. 

The  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  is  proud  to 
claim  this  hero  as  one  of  her  sons.  "Bill"  Abele  entered  this  institution 
in  1909  and  worked  in  the  engineering  school  until  1913.  His  genial 
good  humor  and  hearty  good-fellowship  made  him  popular  with  his 
fellow  students.  The  teachers  of  the  College  liked  and  respected  Abele 
as  a  student.  The  influence  of  his  manly  sacrifice  will  reach  down 
through  the  years  and  touch  many  young  men  who  will  come  to  this 
school.     Our  college  is  better  for  having  known  this  young  man. 

Lieutenant  Abele  is  survived  by  his  wife,  formerly  Miss  Katherine 
Biehl,  of  Toledo,  Ohio,  his  father,  mother,  four  brothers,  and  one  sister.

ELIOT  VALENTINE  AMES 


Eliot  Valentine  Ames  was  born 
near  Macon,  Mississippi,  on  December 
26,  1885,  and  died  near  Recey-sur-Ource, 
France,  on  December  25,  1918. 

Mr.  Ames,  the  son  of  J.  Fisher  and 
Anna  Yeates  Ames,  was  connected  with 
some  of  the  most  prominent  families  of 
Eastern  Mississippi.  After  completing 
his  elementary  education  in  the  schools  of 
Noxubee,  Mr.  Ames,  or  "Val,"  as  he  was 
affectionately  known,  entered  A.  and  M. 
College.  He  remained  in  this  institution, 
however,  only  one  year.  His  record  was 
good  and  his  attachment  for  the  College 
was  great.  Having  made  up  his  mind  to  follow  a  business  career,  he 
availed  himself  of  an  opportunity  to  take  work  with  the  Merchants  and 
Farmers  Bank  of  Macon.  Later  he  went  to  the  American  National 
Bank  of  Oklahoma  City;  and  still  later  he  followed  his  profession  in 
California,  from  which  state  he  enlisted  in  the  Medical  Corps  in  1917. 
In  July,  1918,  Mr.  Ames  arrived  in  France  as  a  member  of  the  medical 
unit  of  the  54th  Infantry,  in  which  capacity  he  served  faithfully  and 
efficiently  until  the  time  of  his  death.  Besides  his  father,  Mr.  Ames  is 
survived  by  three  sisters,  two  brothers,  and  one  little  daughter  only 
nine  years  of  age. 

Mr.  Ames  was  one  of  Noxubee's  most  popular  sons.  He  was  not 
only  attractive  in  personality,  but  he  was  entirely  unselfish.  One  of 
the  most  prominent  traits  of  his  character  was  his  genuine  devotion  to 
his  friends,  whom  he  counted  by  the  score.  Bright  in  mental  powers, 
sociable  and  friendly  in  disposition,  gentle  in  spirit,  and  devoted  to  all 
who  had  claims  on  him,  Mr.  Ames  will  be  cherished  in  memory  by  a 
great  circle  of  his  fellow  countrymen  both  in  the  army  and  in  the  civil 
walks  of  life. 


[22) 


HENRY  GUION  ARMSTRONG 


Henry  Guion  Armstrong,  son  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  L.  Armstrong,  was 
born  in  Memphis,  Tennessee,  on  May  2, 
1893.  His  youth  and  early  school  days 
were  spent  in  Memphis,  where  he  pre- 
pared for  college  at  the  Memphis  Uni- 
versity School. 

In  the  fall  of  1910,  he  entered  upon  a 
course  in  engineering,  as  sophomore  in  the 
Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College.  When  the 
American  forces  went  to  the  Mexican 
border,  under  command  of  General 
Pershing,  Guion  and  his  brother,  Estes, 
served  with  the  Chickasaw  Guards  In 
the  spring  of  1917,  Guion  entered  the 
aviation  corps  and  began  his  training  at 
the  aviation  school  at  the  Driving  Park, 
in  Memphis.  He  was  transferred  to  Chicago  and,  later,  to  Rantoul, 
Illinois.  From  the  latter  place  he  went  to  Kelly  Field,  Texas,  and  then, 
in  October,  he  embarked  for  France,  stopping  for  only  a  brief  period 
at  Mineola,  Long  Island. 

On  the  western  front,  he  played  a  man's  part,  taking  his  chances 
for  months  above  the  enemy  lines.  By  his  skill  and  daring,  at  least 
three  Hun  airplane  pilots  went  whirling  to  their  death.  His  commander, 
Captain  Charles  J.  Biddle,  said  of  him:  "Lieutenant  Armstrong  was 
one  of  my  best  flight  commanders  and  there  was  no  better  man  in  the 
squadron.  He  was  always  eager  and  anxious  to  fly,  possessing  a  cool 
head  and  sound  judgment,  which  are  such  valuable  qualities  to  a  good 
pilot.  Lieutenant  Armstrong  was  not  only  a  brave  soldier — he  was 
always  a  thorough  gentleman  and  a  true  friend." 

On  the  morning  of  October  4,  Lieutenant  Armstrong  was  leading  a 
patrol  and,  when  north  of  Montfaucon,  near  Nantillois,  and  just  over 
the  line  of  battle,  the  patrol  sighted  a  formation  of  six  enemy  planes 
below  them.  Lieutenant  Armstrong  dived  to  attack,  closely  followed 
by  the  other  pilots.  Lieutenant  Stovall  was  about  fifty  yards  to  his 
right  and  behind  him.  Just  as  Lieutenant  Armstrong  was  about  to 
open  fire,  Lieutenant  Stovall  saw  his  machine  suddenly  explode  and  fall 
to  the  ground.  He  had  evidently  flown  into  the  trajectory  of  one  of 
our  own  big  shells. 

Dying  upon  the  field  of  honor  and  glory,  just  at  the  time  when 
promotion  to  Captaincy  awaited  him,  he  yet  lived  to  see  the  deadlock 
on  the  western  front  broken,  to  see  the  Americans  drive  back  the  Huns, 
to  help  sound  the  death  knell  of  Prussian  autocracy. 

Besides  his  father  and  brother,  Lieutenant  Armstrong  is  survived 
by  his  wife,  formerly  Miss  Elizabeth  Edwards,  of  Memphis,  Tennessee. 


[231 


HENRY  HARLOW  BANKS 


Henry  Harlow  Banks  was  born  in 
Forest,  Mississippi,  on  July  19,  1892. 
He  received  his  early  education  in  the 
schools  of  that  town. 

In  September,  1914,  he  entered  the 
sophomore  class  in  the  school  of  industrial 
education  at  the  Mississippi  Agricultural 
and  Mechanical  College.  He  remained 
at  this  institution,  however,  only  one  year. 
His  record  was  good  and  his  attachment 
for  the  College  was  great.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Roman  Catholic  Church. 
Shortly  after  the  declaration  of  war, 
Harry,  as  he  was  familiarly  known  to  his 
friends,  entered  the  army,  becoming  attached  to  Company  C,  114th 
F.  S.  B.  Arriving  overseas  he  was  promoted  to  Corporal,  and  was  con- 
sidered an  excellent  soldier,  liked  by  both  officers  and  enlisted  men. 

In  September,  1918,  Mr.  Banks  had  an  attack  of  appendicitis  which 
called  for  an  immediate  operation.  He  was  carried  to  Base  Hospital  26, 
at  Saint  Aignen,  France.  After  a  seemingly  successful  operation, 
gangrene  set  in,  causing  complications  which  claimed  his  promising 
young  life  during  the  first  week  of  October,  1918. 

The  untimely  death  of  Henry  Harlow  Banks  is  mourned  by  his 
parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  H.  Banks,  of  Forest,  Mississippi,  five 
sisters,  and  one  brother. 


[24] 


THOMAS  RAYSOR  BELL 


Thomas  Raysor  Bell,  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Jerry  G.  Bell,  was  born  in  Starkville, 
Mississippi,  on  March  29,  1896.  His 
early  education  was  received  in  the  public 
school  of  Starkville.  At  the  age  of 
nineteen  he  entered  the  A.  and  M.  College, 
choosing  the  agricultural  course.  After 
'  completing  the  sophomore  year,  T.  R. 
joined  a  company  of  militia  which  was 
organized  at  Aberdeen,  Mississippi,  July, 
1917.  In  August,  1917,  he  was  called  to 
entrain  with  his  company  to  Camp 
^t§»  Jackson,  Jackson,  Mississippi.  While  at 
" Vi*i  Camp  Jackson,  making  preparation  for 
military  service,  he  met  his  untimely  death  in  a  railroad  accident, 
January  26,  1918.  He  was  given  a  military  funeral  and  buried  in  the 
cemetery  at  Starkville. 

"T.  R.V  childhood  and  boyhood  association  with  many  of  his 
company  obtained  for  him  love  and  confidence,  and  it  was  but  natural 
that  he  should  have  been  a  leader  and  trusted  friend  among  them. 

His  soldierly  bearing  and  earnestness  brought  him  promotion  to  a 
corporalship,  which  rank  he  held  while  in  the  service.  His  officers 
spoke  very  highly  of  his  work  and  ability. 

His  parents,  two  brothers,  and  one  sister  are  left  to  mourn  his  loss. 
The  A.  and  M.  College  with  these  surviving  relatives  regrets  the  cutting 
short  of  a  life  that  was  just  beginning  to  reach  the  stage  of  usefulness. 


[251 


HENRY  AUGUSTUS  BEST 


Henry  Augustus  Best  was  born  in 
Woodville,  Mississippi,  May  27,  1895. 
His  early  educational  training  was  re- 
ceived in  the  graded  school  of  that  town. 
At  the  age  of  seventeen  he  entered  Cham- 
berlain Hunt  Academy,  at  Port  Gibson, 
which  is  a  famous  institution  in  that  part  of 
the  State.  For  three  years  he  was  a  stu- 
dent in  this  academy.  Being  interested  in 
■  rural  life,  he  spent  the  sessions  1915-1916, 
^^■il         Jm  I    anC*    '9'6-l9l7  at  tne  Mississippi  A.  and 

MHL  ^t  J    M.    College,    during   which    time   he   took 

Wm     JH  I    the  two-year  course  in  agriculture. 

After  the  United  States  went  to  war 
with  Germany,  he  entered  the  service,  and  in  order  better  to  prepare 
himself  to  cope  with  the  Huns,  he  went  to  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College 
to  take  special  vocational  work  which  was  being  given  there.  He  was 
at  the  A.  and  M.  College  doing  this  special  work  from  May  16,  1918,  till 
July  1 ,  of  the  same  year,  after  which  time  he  was  transferred  to  another 
post  and  soon  sent  overseas.  On  the  31st  of  July,  1918,  he  arrived  in 
France,  and  was  soon  sent  to  the  front  for  active  service.  In  less  than 
two  months  from  the  day  that  he  reached  France  he  was  killed  in  action, 
September  30,  1918. 

While  the  events  connected  with  his  death  are  but  little  known  as 
yet,  it  is  the  testimony  of  those  who  knew  him  most  intimately  that 
Henry  Augustus  Best  did  his  duty  faithfully  and  well  and  that  he 
died  the  death  of  a  genuine  hero. 

He  was  a  member  of  Company  B,  58th  Infantry,  4th  Division, 
A.  S.  N.  2,  915,  399. 


[26] 


LDGAR  VILAS  BRUNSON 


Edgar  Vilas  Brunson  was  the  son  of 
4jj  I    Mr.    and    Mrs.    I.    J.    Brunson.      He   was 

,^$t-  I    born    at    Meridian,    Mississippi,    January 

gP  19,    1894.      He   spent   his   childhood    and 

'  boyhood  days  in  Meridian.  He  entered 
the  public  school  there  at  the  age  of 
seven,  and  after  completing  the  tenth 
grade  of  the  Meridian  High  School,  he 
took  a  business  course,  acquiring  a 
knowledge  of  bookkeeping  and  stenog- 
raphy. His  first  position  was  stenog- 
rapher in  the  office  of  the  Secretary  of 
the  A.  and  M.  College.  Besides  working 
during  the  day  Vilas  successfully  attended 
night  classes  in  order  that  he  might  meet  the  entrance  requirements  of 
the  College.  After  working  one  session  in  the  office  of  the  Secretary 
he  resigned  his  position  and  entered  the  freshman  class  in  the  school  of 
agriculture  in  September,  1912.  He  remained  in  college  only  one 
season,  but  during  that  time  he  won  many  friends  and  was  popular, 
as  was  evidenced  by  his  becoming  a  member  of  college  social  societies, 
and  also  the  Lee  Guards. 

Retiring  from  college,  Vilas  was  associated  with  the  Meridian 
Light  and  Railway  Company,  and  soon  became  one  of  their  most 
trusted  employees.  His  next  position  was  with  the  R.  J.  Reynolds 
Tobacco  Company,  at  Winston-Salem,  North  Carolina;  he  was  a 
member  of  their  clerical  force.  Being  capable  and  trustworthy,  he 
was  selected  by  his  employers  to  return  to  Mississippi  and  care  for 
their  interests.  This  was  his  last  connection  with  the  commercial 
world.  September  19,  1918,  found  Vilas  again  at  the  A.  and  M.  College, 
not  in  his  former  capacity,  however,  but  as  a  volunteer  in  the  S.  A.  T.  C, 
attempting  to  prepare  himself  to  serve  his  country  wherever  needed. 
His  untimely  death,  due  to  pneumonia,  prevented  his  leaving  his 
studies  at  A.  and  M.  to  attend  an  Officers'  Training  Camp,  together 
with  six  others,  who  had  been  nominated  for  immediate  training. 

He  was  a  consistent  member  of  the  15th  Avenue  Baptist  Church. 
Meridian,  Mississippi,  having  been  identified  with  the  church  a  number 
of  years. 

Besides  a  host  of  devoted  friends  Mr.  Brunson  leaves  his  father 
and  mother  to  mourn  his  loss.

ROBERT  MATHEW  CAMPBELL 

Among  those  whose  memory  is  being 
honored  in  this  Memorial  Volume,  for  the 
services  and  sacrifices  they  made  in  behalf 
of  their  country,  none  can  deserve  greater 
honor  than  Robert  Mathew  Campbell, 
ex-'l  1 ,  of  Hesterville,  Mississippi.  It  is  a 
joy  and  an  honor  to  A.  and  M.  to  know 
that  from  its  walls  have  gone  men  whose 
patriotism  and  devotion  to  high  ideals  of 
fair  play  and  democracy  have  led  them  to 
seek  some  way  by  which  to  serve  the 
nation  after  having  been  refused  the  privi- 
lege of  actual  military  service.  Robert 
Campbell  'was  from  early  childhood  ren- 
dered physically  incapable  of  service  in  the  army.  This  fact  weighed 
upon  him  more  than  many  people  knew,  and  he  often  lamented  the  fact 
that  he  could  not  have  a  full  share  in  the  great  conflict.  Determined  not 
to  let  his  infirmities  rob  him  of  all  the  glory,  he  gave  freely  of  his  time  and 
energy  to  local  war  work,  serving  in  various  capacities  until  in  May,  1918, 
he  enlisted  in  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  overseas  service.  After  a  brief  training 
he  was  sent  to  France,  where  he  became  actively  affiliated  with  the  ser- 
vice, putting  as  much  joy  in  the  life  of  the  soldiers  as  was  possible  under 
the  circumstances.  He  soon  grew  in  popularity  as  a  secretary  with  both 
his  fellow  workers  and  the  boys  who  visited  the  hut.  After  about  one 
month  of  service  he  contracted  influenza  and  pneumonia,  and  died  Sep- 
tember 15,  1918.  He  was  buried  in  France  by  the  side  of  many  other 
Americans  who  were  in  the  heart  no  less  soldier  than  he. 

Robert  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  A.  Campbell,  of  Hesterville, 
Mississippi.  He  was  born  and  reared  at  this  place,  attending  common 
and  high  school  there  until  1908,  when  he  entered  A.  and  M.  Here 
he  spent  two  years,  but  at  the  close  of  his  sophomore  year  he  left  A.  and 
M.  for  private  occupation.  As  a  student  he  made  many  friends  who 
will  join  in  honoring  his  memory. 

In  1915  he  entered  the  Law  School  at  the  University  of  Mississippi, 
graduating  there  in  1917  with  a  splendid  record  as  a  student  and  as  a 
man.  He  began  the  practice  of  law  at  Kosciusko,  near  his  home,  and 
was  beginning  a  promising  career  when  he  entered  in  the  Y.  M.  C  A. 
service. 

Such  is  the  record  of  Robert  M.  Campbell,  in  whose  honor,  along 
with  many  more,  the  A.  and  M.  College  presents  this  memorial  volume.

EDGAR  EUGENE  CHAPMAN,  JR. 


Edgar  Eugene  Chapman,  Jr.,  was 
born  at  Harriston,  Jefferson  County, 
Mississippi,  August  16,  1890.  His  early 
childhood  was  spent  in  Natchez  and 
Jackson.  Upon  moving  to  Jackson  he 
entered  the  public  school,  where  he  re- 
mained until  1907,  when  he  entered  the 
freshman  class  in  agriculture  at  the  A. 
and  M.  College.  He  remained  only  one 
year  at  A.  and  M.,  but  became  very 
popular  with  his  fellow  students  and 
instructors.  He  was  an  active  member 
of  the  George  Rifles. 

After  leaving  A.  and  M.  Mr.  Chap- 
man became  interested  in  electricity  and  telegraphy,  and  when  war  was 
declared  he  immediately  enlisted  in  the  army,  being  assigned  to  the 
Signal  Corps  of  the  Aviation  Division.  At  Park  Field,  Tennessee, 
he  was  promoted  to  Master  Signal  Electrician  and  was  an  instructor 
in  that  branch  when  detailed  for  similar  duty  at  Camp  Shelby,  Mis- 
sissippi. It  was  in  compliance  with  orders  to  report  to  Camp  Shelby 
"to  demonstrate  and  give  instruction  in  wireless  operation,"  that  he 
encountered  the  accident  that  cost  him  his  life.  Mr.  Chapman,  with 
Lieutenant  Keller,  left  Park  Field,  in  an  airplane,  at  5  A.  M.  on  the 
morning  of  June  17,  1918.  After  stopping  at  Clarksdale  a  few  minutes 
to  take  on  gasoline,  they  resumed  the  trip.  About  eight  miles  out  the 
plane  had  a  "tail  spin,"  struck  a  tree  and  crashed  to  pieces,  killing  both 
Mr.  Chapman  and  the  other  occupant  of  the  machine.  The  plantation 
where  Mr.  Chapman  was  killed  was  known  as  "Eagle  Nest,"  formerly 
owned  by  Governor  Alcorn. 

Mr.  Chapman  is  survived  by  his  parents,  Mrs.  May  M.  Chapman, 
and  E.  E.  Chapman,  Sr.,  who  reside  in  Jackson,  Mississippi,  and  one 
sister,  Mrs.  J.  V.  Wright,  of  Tallulah,  Louisiana.

JAMES  NOVIS  CHRISTIAN 


James  Novis  Christian,  son  of  Mr, 
and  Mrs.  J.  H.  Christian,  of  Tupelo, 
Mississippi,  was  born  September  4,  1896, 
near  Tupelo. 

His  youthful  schooling  was  had  in  the 
Tupelo  Public  Schools,  where  also  he  did 
his  high  school  work.  He  was  of  athletic 
turn,  taking  an  active  interest  in  baseball 
and  football.  He  played  on  the  teams  of 
the  Tupelo  High  School. 

During  the  year  1916-17  he  was  a 
freshman  in  agriculture  at  the  Mississippi 
A.  and  M.  College.  After  the  outbreak 
of  the  war,  he  entered  the  navy.  For 
five  months  he  served  in  the  navy  as  3d-class  fireman,  in  the  Naval 
Reserve  Force,  when  he  was  stricken  by  influenza.  He  died  on  October 
18,  1918,  at  Pensacola,  Florida,  of  pneumonia. 

His  untimely  death  is  mourned  by  his  father,  mother,  four  sisters, 
and  three  brothers.

GEORGE  GAYDEN  CHRISTMAS 

At  Beulah,  Mississippi,  on  December  25,  1898,  the  subject  of  this 
sketch  was  born.  When  he  was  ten  months  old  his  mother  died.  This 
is  an  awful  misfortune  to  befall  any  boy,  but  George  was  very  fortunate 
in  having  a  good  uncle  and  aunt,  who  were  glad  to  give  him  as  much  as 
was  possible  of  the  love  and  care  that  he  would  have  gotten  from  his 
mother.  After  his  mother's  death  he  lived  with  his  uncle  and  aunt, 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Will  Shelly,  of  Rosedale,  Mississippi,  until  his  father 
married  a  second  time. 

He  grew  up  to  be  a  splendid  boy  and  young  man.  He  was  clean, 
wholehearted,  optimistic,  admired  by  all  his  acquaintances,  honored 
and  loved  by  his  relatives.  Gratitude  was  one  of  the  crowning  virtues 
of  this  young  man.  Especially  did  he  feel  grateful  for  the  great  oppor- 
tunity of  living  in  a  land  of  freedom  such  as  his  country  offered.  No 
man  in  the  United  States  could  more  willingly  raise  his  strong  arms  in 
defense  of  these  blessings  than  George. 

When  the  war  was  declared  with  Germany  his  soul  was  soon  aflame 
with  patriotism,  and  not  waiting  to  be  drafted,  he  immediately  volun- 
teered his  services. 

After  the  proper  preliminary  training  in  the  United  States,  he  was 
sent  overseas  for  active  service.  This  must  have  been  pleasing  to 
him,  for  life  in  a  training  camp  was  altogether  too  tame  for  him  while 
such  big  things  were  happening  in  Europe.  While  doing  his  bit  for 
Democracy  somewhere  in  France,  one  day  he  received  a  wound  from 
which  he  died.  The  particulars  as  to  how  he  received  the  wound  are 
unknown  to  the  writer,  but  judging  from  his  record  that  we  are  familiar 
with,  it  is  but  just  to  conclude  that  he  was  stricken  while  playing  the 
part  of  a  real  hero,  standing  up  to  the  guns  as  long  as  he  had  strength 
to  do  so.

JOHN  WHEATLEY  COWAN 

John  Wheatley  Cowan  was  the  son 
of  Harry  D.  and  Mary  I.  Cowan;  was 
born  at  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan,  March 
31,  1 898 ;  removed  with  his  parents  to 
Springfield,  Illinois,  1911;  graduated 
from  the  Hay  School  at  Springfield  in  1912; 
removed  with  his  parents  to  Chicago,  Illi- 
nois, in  191  1  ;  attended  Hyde  Park  School, 
graduating  in  1916;  completed  freshman 
year  at  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College,  Mississippi,  in  191  7.  As  a  student 
young  Cowan  had  no  superiors. 

His  military  experience  was :  Enlisted 
in  the  Illinois  National  Guard,  First  Field 
Artillery,  and  served  on  the  Mexican  Border  in  1916;  was  promoted  to 
Corporal  and  then  to  Sergeant,  and  honorably  discharged  November, 
1916,  when  he  at  once  entered  college. 

Upon  the  declaration  of  war  against  Germany,  he  at  once  left 
college,  went  to  Chicago  and  re-enlisted  in  the  First  Illinois  Field 
Artillery,  as  a  private,  was  promoted  to  Corporal,  then  to  Sergeant, 
and  in  August,  1917,  was  commissioned  Lieutenant. 

His  regiment  was  mustered  into  United  States  service  as  the  149th 
Field  Artillery,  42d  ("Rainbow")  Division.  It  mobilized  at  Fort 
Sheridan,  completed  training  at  Camp  Mineola,  Long  Island,  and  went 
"over  there"  in  October,  1917.  The  regiment  was  on  the  Lorraine 
front  until  transferred  to  the  Champagne  sector  in  June,  1918.  While 
on  duty  as  a  "liaison  officer"  of  his  regiment  in  one  of  the  battles  near 
Rheims,  France,  on  July  17,  1918,  Lieutenant  Cowan  was  instantly 
killed  by  a  direct  shell  while  in  the  front  line  trenches. 

But  little  past  twenty  years  of  age  when  he  met  a  soldier's  death, 
he  surely  had  experienced  an  eventful  life  in  which  he  made  good  every 
duty  he  was  called  upon  to  perform. 

His  high  standing  among  the  officers  and  men  of  his  regiment,  as  set 
out  in  numerous  letters  to  his  parents,  is  but  partly  expressed  in  the 
following  excerpt  from  the  letter  of  Colonel  Reilly,  of  the  149th: 

"I  had  a  real  affection  for  him;  he  was  such  an  attractive,  clean- 
looking  boy.  Knowing  him  only  served  to  confirm  my  first  favorable 
impression,  which  every  one  who  came  in  contact  with  him  had.  He 
was  a  brave,  efficient  officer,  admired  by  all  who  came  in  contact  with 
him.  I  can  only  hope  that  this,  and  the  fact  that  he  died  in  battle  in 
the  cause  of  his  country,  will  tend  to  lessen  your  grief."

WILSON  T.  DONALDSON 

Wilson  T.  Donaldson,  Jr.,  was  born 
in  Owenton,  Kentucky,  on  November  12, 
1894.  At  the  close  of  his  work  in  the 
graded  schools,  he  entered  Transylvania 
College,  at  Lexington,  Kentucky.  There 
he  pursued  special  studies  for  a  period  of 
one  and  one-half  years.  Interested  in 
agriculture,  he  came  to  Mississippi  Agri- 
cultural and  Mechanical  College,  from 
which  he  graduated  in  June,  1915. 
During  his  college  days  he  showed  himself 
an  excellent  student  and  his  work  brought 
favorable  notice  from  his  instructors.  He 
did  special  work  in  chemistry  and  for 
some  time  served  as  fellow  in  the  department  of  botany.  Each  of  his 
teachers  bears  witness  to  his  mental  grasp,  his  sincerity  of  purpose,  and 
his  singular  beauty  of  character. 

On  May  13,  1916,  he  was  appointed  inspector  for  the  State  Plant 
Board  of  Florida  and  agent  of  the  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry,  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.  In  this  capacity  he  rendered 
constant,  efficient,  and  faithful  service  in  connection  with  the  eradica- 
tion of  citrus  canker  in  Florida.  Soon  after  war  was  declared  against 
Germany,  he  felt  the  call  to  the  colors.  He  resigned  his  work  and 
entered  the  School  of  Military  Aeronautics,  at  Austin,  Texas.  After 
completing  the  course  there  with  honors,  he  entered  enthusiastically 
upon  his  training  in  flying  at  Kelly  Field,  No.  2,  at  San  Antonio.  He 
had  been  doing  solo  flying  for  about  one  month  when,  on  April  17,  1918, 
while  on  a  cross  country  flight,  he  fell  with  his  plane,  and  later  died  on 
April  20,  having  remained  unconscious  from  the  time  of  the  accident 
until  his  death.  With  military  honors  he  was  laid  to  rest  on  April 
24,  at  Aberdeen,  Mississippi.  His  death  occurred  just  a  few  days  before 
he  was  to  receive  his  commission. 

At  Kelly  Field,  Mr.  Donaldson  was  considered  by  his  superior 
officer  a  most  promising  pupil.  His  flying  instructor  said:  "I  can 
safely  say  he  was  a  most  apt  student.  To  know  him  was  to  admire 
him."  He  was  a  young  man  of  high  ideals  and  quickly  earned  the 
confidence  and  esteem  of  all  those  privileged  to  associate  with  him.  As 
one  friend  put  it:  "I  feel  a  really  true  and  noble  man  has  gone  away 
just  as  he  was  prepared  to  stay."  His  name  will  long  be  cherished 
and  lovingly  held  in  memory  as  one  who  had  freely  placed  his  all  upon 
the  altar  of  liberty. 


MERRITT  BOOTH  DURHAM 


Merritt  Booth  Durham  died  of 
wounds  received  on  July  11,  1918,  in 
battle  near  Berzy-le-Sec,  France.  The 
date  of  his  death  is  not  known.  He  was 
reported  as  missing  in  action  on  July  21, 
1918,  but  in  a  private  letter  from  a 
family  connection  then  in  France  it  was 
learned  that  he  was  in  a  hospital  near 
Berzy-le-Sec  on  August  27.  He  is  sup- 
posed to  be  buried  just  east  of  Berzy, 
according  to  information  furnished  by 
one  of  his  officers. 

He  received  his  first  wound  on  May 
28,  while  trying  to  make  a  badly  wounded 
comrade  more  comfortable,  but  was  again  on  duty  on  July  10,  the  date 
when  he  wrote  his  last  letter  to  any  of  his  relatives.  His  second  wound 
came  the  following  day,  and  it  is  supposed  by  his  family  that  he  died 
from  this  wound. 

He  was  born  in  Blue  Mountain,  Mississippi,  on  March  6,  1893- 
He  attended  the  primary  department  of  Blue  Mountain  College  and 
the  Blue  Mountain  Public  School  in  his  early  life.  In  September, 
191  1,  he  entered  the  A.  and  M.  College,  taking  the  four-year  course  in 
agriculture.  He  devoted  all  his  spare  time  to  work  around  the  campus, 
the  dairy  barn,  and  farm  to  help  pay  his  expenses.  He  completed  the 
sophomore  year.  While  he  was  at  A.  and  M.,  "M.  B.,"  as  he  was 
familiarly  called  by  his  friends,  took  an  active  part  in  religious  activities 
and  it  was  through  his  influence  that  many  A.  and  M.  students  were 
directed  into  lives  of  service  for  our  Master.  Mr.  Durham  was  one  of 
Tippah's  most  popular  sons  and  he  had  endeared  himself  to  everyone 
who  had  had  the  opportunity  to  know  him. 

Dying  upon  the  field  of  honor  and  glory,  just  as  the  tide  of  battle 
was  beginning  to  favor  the  Allies,  Mr.  Durham  lived  to  help  sound  the 
first  death  knell  to  Prussian  autocracy. 

Besides  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  M.  J.  Durham,  of  Blue  Mountain, 
Mr.  Durham  is  survived  by  four  brothers  and  two  sisters.

MACK  GOWAN  DYESS 


Mack  Gowan  Dyess,  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Frank  S.  Dyess,  was  born  on  March 
25,  1890.  His  youthful  days  were  spent 
in  Laurel,  Mississippi,  to  which  place  his 
parents  had  moved.  He  attended  the 
public  schools  of  Laurel,  in  preparation 
for  college.  His  freshman  work  was 
done  in  the  Industrial  College  of  Louisi- 
ana. 

In  the  fall  of  1914,  M.  G.  entered  the 
sophomore  class  in  mechanical  engineer- 
ing at  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College. 
Here  he  continued  with  credit  to  himself 
until  the  United  States  was  drawn  into 
the  war  in  1917.  M.  G.  was  one  of  the  most  popular  young  men  in 
college  during  these  years.  He  was  an  active  member  of  several  student 
organizations  and  had  a  lively  interest  in  every  phase  of  college  ac- 
tivities. 

In  May,  1918,  he  withdrew  from  college  to  enter  an  Officers'  Training 
Camp.  He  was  transferred  to  Camp  Taylor,  Kentucky,  where  he  re- 
ceived a  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant  in  the  Field  Artillery,  U.  S.  A. 
He  was  commissioned  on  October  15,  1918,  and  just  one  week  later, 
he  died  from  an  attack  of  influenza,  at  the  home  of  his  parents,  at 
Laurel,  Mississippi.  Besides  his  parents,  three  brothers  and  four  sisters, 
a  host  of  college  friends  were  left  to  mourn  the  loss  of  this  talented 
young  man.

WHITTEN  JASPER  EAST 

Mr.  East  was  born  in  Senatobia, 
Mississippi,  on  June  29,  1893.  He  re- 
ceived his  early  education  in  the  schools 
of  that  town,  being  graduated  from  high 
school  there  in  1907. 

In  the  fall  of  1908  he  entered  the  A. 
and  M.  College  and  was  a  student  of  that 
institution  during  the  session  of  1908- 
1909,  and  that  of  1910-191 1  until  March. 
He  then  received  an  appointment  to  the 
Military  Academy  at  West  Point,  New 
York.  In  August,  1911,  he  entered  this 
famous  war  college,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  in  June,  1915. 
After  his  graduation  from  West  Point  he  was  assigned  to  the  16th 
Infantry,  which  was  stationed  at  El  Paso,  Texas,  very  soon  after  he 
joined  it.  In  March,  1916,  he  went  into  Mexico  with  the  American 
Expeditionary  Forces.  His  conduct  while  in  Mexico  earned  for  him 
the  promotion  to  First  Lieutenant,  which  he  received  in  July,  1916. 

When  it  was  evident  that  war  between  the  United  States  and 
Germany  was  inevitable,  Mr.  East  asked  for  a  transfer  to  the  Signal 
Corps  and  Aviation  Service,  for  he  wished  to  get  into  that  branch  of 
the  service  where  he  could  do  most  for  his  country.  He  accordingly 
obtained  his  transfer  in  September,  1916,  and  began  training  as  an 
aviator  at  San  Diego,  California,  from  which  place  he  graduated  as 
Junior  Military  Aviator  in  May,  1917. 

He  was  soon  promoted  to  Captain.  In  August,  1917,  he  was  sent 
to  France,  and  served  on  all  the  different  fronts,  collecting  data  for 
the  United  States  Air  Service.  He  served  in  this  important  capacity 
till  December,  1917.  He  was  promoted  to  Major.  With  the  valuable 
information  that  he  had  collected  he  was  called  to  Washington  and 
placed  on  the  General  Staff  of  Air  Service.  After  serving  on  the  staff 
until  July,  he  was  sent  to  Mineola,  Long  Island,  to  take  command  of 
the  first  provincial  wing  of  the  Air  Service  at  that  place.  While  there 
he  was  killed  in  an  auto  accident,  October,  1918. 

Lieutenant  Fuller,  who  served  under  Major  East,  said  that  the  work 
that  was  done  by  East  was  highly  important  and  confidential.  "I 
marvel  how  a  man  of  his  age  could  be  entrusted  to  do  such  work.  He 
was  exceptionally  capable  and  had  a  complete  grasp  of  the  situation, 
and  was  quick  in  his  decisions.     He  was  absolutely  fearless.     On  the 

[36] 


night  of  the  sinking  of  the  U.  S.  Cruiser  Santiago  by  a  German  sub- 
marine off  Fire  Island,  when  the  news  came  to  us  he  went  out  in  a 
battle  plane,  carrying  bombs  which  were  considered  very  dangerous 
without  some  person  or  ballast  in  the  rear  seat. 

"It  was  East's  hope  to  take  the  men  in  the  Air  Service  over  as  a  unit 
and  move  directly  to  the  front.  This  was  considered  an  experiment. 
We  appreciate  his  standing  at  Washington  when  we  learn  that  he  was 
selected  to  carry  this  out  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that  he  was  the  youngest 
Major  in  the  Air  Service  that  had  ever  been  connected  with  the  General 
Staff." 

Major  East  was  a  modest  young  man,  free  from  all  ostentation. 
All  his  brilliant  achievements  and  prominence  attained  even  so  young, 
never  turned  his  head.  He  was  seen  to  come  often  out  of  his  head- 
quarters without  the  insignia  of  his  rank  on,  having  forgotten  it  while 
absorbed  in  important  matters.  He  was  loved  by  all  men  in  his  com- 
mand. They  would  have  given  up  their  lives  for  him  had  it  been  neces- 
sary. One  of  his  pilots,  who  was  very  fond  of  him,  said:  "He  was 
an  honest- to-God  man." 

Dr.  Mercer  Green,  speaking  of  Major  East's  death,  said,  among 
other  things,  the  following:  "The  United  States  has  lost  one  of  its 
best  and  most  esteemed  officers,  Tate  County  one  of  its  most  brilliant 
and  beloved  young  men."

GEORGE  PERCY  ERNEST 

In  all  ages  it  has  been  true  that  to 
sacrifice  one's  life  for  one's  country  is  the 
noblest  of  deeds.  The  manner  in  which 
this  is  done  should  and  does  matter  little. 
The  man  who  dies  on  the  field  of  battle 
renders  a  great  service  and  to  him  great 
honor  is  due,  but  it  wasn't  given  that  all 
should  serve  at  the  front  or  make  their 
sacrifice  'midst  the  glory  of  battle.  Some 
were  called  upon  to  sacrifice  their  am- 
bitions for  service  at  the  front  in  order 
that  others  might  be  made  ready  for  the 
conflict.  Such  was  the  case  of  G.  P. 
Ernest,  ex-' 12,  who  spent  several  months 
in  various  camps  in  the  United  States  training  other  men  for  battle. 
Such,  too,  was  his  fate,  that  while  in  the  Officers'  Training  Camp  at 
Camp  Hancock,  Georgia,  he  contracted  influenza  and  pneumonia,  and 
died  November  16,  1918,  only  a  few  days  before  he  would  have  received 
his  commission  as  an  officer  in  a  machine  gun  organization.  Ernest 
made  a  splendid  record  as  a  member  of  the  training  camp  and  was  con- 
sidered one  of  the  best  shots  in  the  camp.  It  was  indeed  unfortunate 
that  a  man  of  Percy  Ernest's  type  should  have  to  pay  the  supreme 
sacrifice  under  such  conditions. 

Percy  Ernest  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  T.  Ernest,  of 
Durant,  Mississippi.  He  was  born  and  reared  at  Durant,  attending 
school  there  until  1908,  when  he  entered  the  A.  and  M.  College.  He 
remained  at  A.  and  M.  two  years,  making  a  great  number  of  friends 
among  the  students  and  faculty.  While  here  he  was  a  member  of  the 
George  Rifles  and  played  baseball  on  the  'Varsity  team.  At  the  end  of 
his  sophomore  year  he  left  A.  and  M.  and  began  work  for  the  railroad, 
with  which  he  remained  until  the  call  for  service  in  1917. 

Percy  was  a  splendid  man  from  every  point  of  view,  and  his  death 
is  a  loss  to  the  College  as  well  as  to  his  friends.  It  is  a  pleasure  to  do 
honor  to  him  in  this  volume. 


[38] 


JOHN  BROWNRIGG  ERVIN 

John  Brownrigg  Ervin,  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  J.  M.  Ervin,  was  born  in 
Oktibbeha  County,  April  20,  1890.  At 
an  early  age  he  moved  with  his  parents  to 
West  Point,  Mississippi,  where  he  entered 
the  public  schools.  From  the  public 
schools  he  entered  the  school  of  engineer- 
ing at  the  A.  and  M.  College  in  September, 
1905,  and  graduated  in  1908.  "Jack," 
as  he  was  familiarly  known  by  his 
friends,  was  an  earnest  student  and  com- 
pleted his  course  with  honor. 

Upon  graduation,  "Jack"  was  em- 
ployed by  the  Westinghouse  Electric  and 
Manufacturing  Company,  of  Pittsburg,  Pennsylvania.  While  with  that 
company  he  was  engaged  in  the  various  industrial  enterprises  in  Charles- 
ton, Baltimore,  Philadelphia,  and  New  York.  Notable  among  these 
was  the  installation,  under  his  supervision,  of  the  first  electric  locomotives 
which  were  used  in  drawing  trains  through  the  Pennsylvania  tunnels 
under  the  Hudson  River. 

He  volunteered  and  began  his  training  at  Atlanta,  in  December, 
1917.  He  continued  his  training  at  the  University  of  Texas  and  at 
Dallas,  Texas.  From  Kelly  Field  he  was  transferred  to  Keane  Field, 
Mineola,  Long  Island.  Here,  just  one  day  before  he  was  to  receive 
his  commission  and  be  designated  for  overseas  service,  he  met  his  death 
by  accident,  on  May  8,  1918. 

The  following  account  of  his  tragic  death  is  taken  from  the  New 
York  Times  of  May  9,  1918: 

"Two  airplanes,  coming  out  of  a  mist  to  make  a  landing  on  Keane 
Flying  Field  of  the  United  States  Army,  near  Mineola,  Long  Island, 
came  into  collision  yesterday,  and  both  machines  were  wrecked  when 
they  reached  the  ground.  One  cadet  sustained  injuries  which  caused 
his  death,  and  two  others  were  severely  hurt. 

"Cadet  John  B.  Ervin,  of  West  Point,  Mississippi,  who  was  killed, 
was  alone  in  his  machine  and  was  coming  down  at  a  steep  angle  through 
a  haze,  when  Ralph  E.  Jeramy,  of  Emporia,  Kansas,  and  J.  R.  Vidmer, 
who  were  together  in  a  machine,  saw  the  other  plane  almost  directly 
above  them.  Fearing  that  the  two  machines  would  strike  squarely, 
if  they  continued   their  angle  of  flight,   Jeramy,   who  was  about  800 

[39] 


feet  above  ground,  attempted  a  descending  loop.  While  this  appar- 
ently avoided  a  full  collision,  the  machines  struck,  throwing  both 
planes  out  of  control.  The  machine  piloted  by  Ervin  fell  heavily  to 
the  ground,  while  Jeramy  was  able  to  make  a  rough  landing,  though 
both  Jeramy  and  Vidmer  were  injured." 

Sad  and  precipitate  as  was  this  unfortunate  ending  of  his  life,  yet 
he  left  a  fame  and  a  name  which  will  ever  be  a  treasured  gift,  a  glorious 
heritage  to  his  father  and  mother  and  his  many  friends.  His  ability, 
worth,  and  work  will  always  be  an  inspiration  and  a  cherished  legacy 
from  one  greatly  loved  whom  now  we  mourn.

FRANCIS  WALKER  GARDNER 

Francis  Walker  Gardner,  First 
Lieutenant  in  the  infantry,  was  the  son 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  L.  Gardner,  of  Belden, 
Mississippi,  and  was  born  at  Bissell,  Lee 
County,  Mississippi,  June  26,  1889.  He 
yielded  up  his  life  in  behalf  of  his  country 
on  the  Champaigne  Sector,  France, 
October  12,  1918,  dying  from  the  wounds 
he  received  only  six  days  previous. 

Frank,  as  he  was  familiarly  called  by 
his  friends,  received  his  elementary  edu- 
cation in  the  public  school  of  Tupelo. 
In  September,  1908,  he  entered  the  agri- 
cultural course  at  the  Mississippi  A.  and 
M.  College.  After  completing  a  portion  of  his  senior  year  he  left  A. 
and  M.  in  the  spring  of  1912.  In  1914  he  returned  to  pursue  special 
courses  in  agriculture.  He  remained  during  1914-15  and  1915-16. 
While  at  A.  and  M.  he  was  a  member  of  the  Lee  Guards. 

Lieutenant  Gardner  met  his  death  as  the  soldier  would  wish;  he 
fell  in  action.  He  enlisted  at  Jackson,  Michigan,  in  September,  1917, 
and  received  his  training  at  Fort  Sheridan.  In  January,  1918,  he 
landed  in  France,  and  after  two  months  of  land  service,  he  was  assigned 
to  the  Fifth  Regiment  of  Marines,  which  took  such  an  active  part  in 
driving  the  Huns  back  at  Chateau  Thierry.  Recovering  from  wounds 
he  received  there  in  July,  1918,  he  was  promoted  to  First  Lieutenant 
and  assigned  to  the  Forty-third  Infantry,  Second  Division,  regulars. 
In  action  with  this  organization  on  the  Champaigne  Sector,  Lieutenant 
Gardner  received  his  mortal  wound  on  October  6,  dying  a  week  later, 
October  12. 

Besides  being  the  possessor  of  an  attractive  personality,  Frank  was 
entirely  unselfish  and  his  genuine  devotion  to  his  friends,  whom  he 
counted  by  the  score,  made  him  a  true  leader.  His  letters  written  from 
France  to  his  friends  and  relatives  in  America  show  clearly  that  he  was 
bright  in  mental  powers,  social  and  friendly  in  disposition,  gentle  in 
spirit,  and  devoted  to  all  who  had  claims  on  him. 

Lieutenant  Gardner  is  survived  by  his  wife,  who  was  Miss  Blanche 
Iona  McClintock,  of  New  Orleans,  an  uncle,  A.  L.  Abernathy,  and  an 
aunt,  Miss  Dolly  Gardner,  both  of  Belden.

THOMAS  WADSWORTH  GOLDING 


Thomas  Wadsworth  Golding  was 
born  at  the  "Thomas  Place,''  his  grand- 
father's plantation,  eight  miles  east  of 
Columbus,  on  February  16,  1890.  He 
received  his  early  education  in  the  rural 
school  near  his  home  and  in  the  schools 
of  Columbus.  At  the  age  of  seventeen 
he  entered  the  freshman  class  in  the 
school  of  engineering  at  the  A.  and  M. 
College  and  graduated  in  June,  1911, 
with  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science 
in  Civil  Engineering. 

After  leaving  A.  and  M.  he  became 
engaged  in  civil  engineering  and  for 
several  years  was  actively  engaged  in  his  profession.  With  the  knowl- 
edge and  experience  he  had  gained  in  college  and  in  his  years  of  civil 
engineering  he  later  began  designing  and  building  farm  houses,  in 
improving  roads,  and  in  countless  other  beneficial  activities. 

While  in  training  at  Camp  Humphreys,  Virginia,  Mr.  Golding  suc- 
cumbed to  the  epidemic  of  Spanish  Influenza,  October  6,  shortly  after 
having  passed  his  overseas  examination.  He  was  attached  to  Company 
F,  Third  Engineers. 

In  college  "Tom,"  as  he  was  familiarly  known  to  his  classmates, 
was  loyal  and  devoted  to  his  friends,  a  good  student,  and  manly  through- 
out. He  was  very  popular,  as  evidenced  by  his  membership  in  several 
college  social  societies. 

Thomas  Golding  is  survived  by  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  C. 
Golding,  one  brother,  the  Rev.  N.  J.  Golding,  and  four  sisters,  Misses 
Fannie,  Sue,  Minnie,  and  Pattie  Ervin  Golding.

TILMAN  BARGL  GRAY 

Tilman  Barge  Gray  was  born  at 
Montrose,  Mississippi,  February  8,  1896. 
He  was  reared  at  Montrose  and  had  spent 
his  entire  life  there,  living  in  a  Christian 
home  that  gave  rise  to  a  life  of  clean  and 
high  ideals.  He  attended  public  school 
at  his  home  and  graduated  from  the 
high  school  at  the  age  of  eighteen.  He 
became  a  Christian  at  the  age  of  twelve, 
becoming  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church. 

As  a  student  he  excelled,  as  is  shown 
by  his  record  at  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M. 
College.  At  this  institution  he  com- 
pleted his  regular  four-year  course  in  three  years,  and  in  June,  1917, 
received  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Agriculture. 

Shortly  after  graduation,  Mr.  Gray  entered  the  training  camp  at 
Fort  Logan  H.  Roots,  Arkansas,  and  at  the  end  of  the  intensive  training 
period  was  commissioned  Second  Lieutenant  and  assigned  to  Com- 
pany A,  346th  Infantry.  Later  he  was  transferred  to  Company 
D  of  the  Machine  Gun  Battalion,  where  he  was  to  do  some 
special  work.  In  discharge  of  this  special  work  he  met  his  death. 
The  accident  occurred  about  nine  o'clock  on  Monday  morning, 
November  11,  1917.  He  and  two  other  officers  were  on  a  truck 
load  of  ammunition  en  route  to  the  rifle  range  when  the  chauffeur 
lost  control  of  the  machine  and  it  plunged  off  a  six  foot  embankment 
into  a  tree,  throwing  men  and  munition  boxes  in  a  heap.  Several  of  the 
men  were  hurt  slightly  but  Lieutenant  Gray  received  internal  injuries 
that  claimed  his  life  within  an  hour  after  the  accident  occurred.  He 
was  carried  to  the  hospital  at  Fort  Logan  Roots,  where  he  regained 
consciousness  and  was  at  himself  until  the  end  came.  His  body  was 
carried  to  Little  Rock,  where  it  was  kept  over  night,  and  from  there  it 
was  sent  to  his  home  at  Montrose,  Mississippi,  for  burial. 

As  an  officer  Lieutenant  Gray  was  always  courteous  toward  the 
men  in  his  charge.  He  is  said  to  have  never  been  rude  toward  any 
recruit.  When  he  rebuked  them,  he  always  did  it  in  a  tactful  manner, 
a  fact  that  gave  him  a  marked  distinction  among  the  officers  and  won 
for  him  the  love  and  regard  of  his  command.  His  most  remarkable 
and  distinguishing  feature,  as  an  officer,  was  his  clean  language. 

Lieutenant  Gray  is  survived  by  his  mother,  Mrs.  M.  E.  Gray,  one 
sister,  and  one  brother.  [43] 


HENRY  WARD  HAMRICK 

Of  the  thousands  of  gallant  American 
boys  who  laid  down  their  lives  in  behalf  of 
their  country  none  had  promise  of  a  finer 
future  than  Ward  Hamrick,  none  enjoyed 
a  more  genuine  esteem  from  a  wide  circle 
of  friends,  none  had  manifested  a  truer 
strength  of  character. 

Lieutenant  Hamrick  was  born  at 
Hamrick,  Mississippi,  October  15,  1893. 
He  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  B. 
Hamrick,  now  of  Greenwood.  After  at- 
tending school  in  his  native  town,  Ward, 
in  1908,  entered  A.  and  M.,  where  he  re- 
mained until  1911. 
In  college  young  Hamrick  was  a  member  of  the  Lee  Guards.  In  later 
life  he  joined  the  Elks  and  belonged  to  the  Illinois  Commercial  Men's 
Association  and  the  Mississippi  Travelers'  Association.  From  the  time  he 
was  fourteen  years  of  age,  he  was  a  loyal  member  of  the  Baptist  Church. 
At  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  Mr.  Hamrick  gave  up  his  position  as 
traveling  salesman  for  a  large  automobile  accessory  house,  and  entered 
the  first  Officers'  Training  Camp  at  Forth  McPherson,  Georgia.  On 
August  15,  1917,  he  was  commissioned  First  Lieutenant  and  later  sent 
to  Camp  Gordon,  where  he  was  attached  to  the  82nd  Division.  For  a  few 
months  after  he  went  overseas,  he  was  connected  with  the  British  army. 
In  all  of  the  fierce  fighting  which  his  regiment,  the  326th  Infantry, 
saw,  Lieutenant  Hamrick  took  a  conspicuous  and  heroic  part.  In  that 
most  terrific  contest  of  the  war,  the  battle  of  the  Argonne  Forest,  a 
shell  fell  into  the  dugout  in  which  he  stayed,  and  Ward  Hamrick,  as  his 
Major  said,  "died  with  a  smile  on  his  face."  By  a  strange  coincidence, 
Lieutenant  Hamrick  died  on  his  25th  birthday. 

A  host  of  eloquent  tributes  on  both  sides  of  the  water  bear  evidence 
to  the  affection  with  which  the  memory  of  Greenwood's  fallen  soldier 
is  cherished.  The  Colonel  of  the  regiment  voluntarily  wrote  feelingly 
of  Lieutenant  Hamrick's  valor  and  the  glory  he  added  to  his  country's 
record.  The  Major  who  commanded  the  unit  was  almost  heart- 
broken. Other  officers  recorded  their  earnest  expression  of  personal  loss. 
Friends  in  the  homeland  have  added  in  impressive  volume  their 
testimonies  to  the  worth  of  such  a  man.  It  must  surely  soothe  the 
sense  of  grief  to  remember  that  he  is  borne  in  honor  by  his  Alma  Mater, 
his  fellow  soldiers,  and  a  great  army  of  unforgetting  friends.

WILLIAM  MELVILLE  HURLEY 


William  Melville  Hurley  was 
born  on  December  30,  1897,  at  Mobile, 
Alabama.  He  received  his  early  educa- 
tion in  the  Convent  of  Mercy  and  in  the 
public  schools  of  Gulfport  and  Pass 
Christian.  After  leaving  school  he  held 
a  responsible  position  with  the  Mobile 
and  Ohio  Railway  Company,  and  with 
the  International  Ship  Building  Com- 
pany. 

Upon  entering  the  army  Mr.  Hurley 
entered  the  A.  and  M.  College  to  receive 
vocational  training  better  to  prepare  him 
for  the  part  that  he,  no  doubt,  hoped 
very  soon  to  play  in  the  great  struggle  for  democracy.  Whatever  am- 
bition he  cherished  to  go  over  and  take  active  part  in  the  war  at  the 
front  was  destroyed,  for  soon  after  coming  to  A.  and  M.  he  fell  a  victim 
to  pneumonia,  of  which  disease  he  died  on  the  7th  of  October,  1918. 

Mr.  Hurley  was  a  very  bright  and  industrious  young  man.  He  soon 
won  the  respect  and  confidence  of  those  he  came  in  contact  with. 
Among  his  friends  and  loved  ones  he  was  a  special  favorite. 

He  is  survived  by  his  father,  mother,  a  sister,  and  a  brother. 


[45] 


EARL  T.  JONES 

Earl  T.  Jones  was  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  A.  Jones,  of  French 
Camp,  Mississippi.  He  was  born  in  Montgomery  County,  Mississippi, 
on  July  24,  1900,  and  spent  his  early  childhood  in  that  county.  He 
attended  school  at  Bethsaida,  Mississippi,  and  French  Camp  Academy. 

In  September,  1918,  Earl  entered  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College  of  Mississippi  and  immediately  enlisted  in  the  Students'  Army 
Training  Corps.  Before  the  organization  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  was  barely 
completed  he  contracted  influenza,  which  soon  developed  into  pneu- 
monia. On  October  4,  1918,  Earl  T.  Jones  yielded  up  his  life  for  the 
noblest  cause  of  man. 

Earl's  clean,  wholehearted,  optimistic  character  won  for  him  the 
admiration  of  all  his  acquaintances.  That  his  promising  young  life 
was  nipped  in  the  bud  is  a  source  of  grief  to  his  friends  and  relatives, 
all  of  whom  honored  and  loved  him. 


[46] 


HARRY  STANLEY  JONES 

Harry  Stanley  Jones,  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  G.  W.  Jones,  of  Schlatcr.  Mis- 
sissippi, was  born  near  Sunny  Side, 
Mississippi,  on  October  30,  1889.  He  gave 
his  life  for  his  country  on  January  I,  1919, 
drowning  in  Plymouth  Harbor,  England. 
He  received  his  elementary  and  high 
school  training  in  the  rural  school  near 
his  home,  and  at  the  age  of  seventeen 
entered  the  preparatory  department  of 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  Sep- 
tember, 1906.  The  following  year  he 
returned  to  A.  and  M.  and  entered  the 
freshman  class  in  the  school  of  engineer- 
ing. This  was  his  last  year  at  A.  and  M.,  for  the  next  saw  him 
caring  for  the  family  farm* near  Schlater,  Mississippi. 

After  having  gone  through  the  entire  war  without  any  mishaps, 
Stanley,  as  he  was  familiarly  called,  lost  his  life  in  Plymouth  Harbor, 
England,  through  the  sinking  of  a  motor  dory.  Jones  and  two  other 
men  were  in  the  motor  dory  with  orders  to  carry  a  line  out  to  the  buoy 
to  which  the  "U.  S.  S.  Woolsey"  was  to  be  moored.  After  entering 
the  harbor  and  as  the  small  vessel  was  about  to  secure  the  buoy,  a 
heavy  squall  struck  the  harbor,  which  is  more  or  less  exposed  to  the 
open  sea.  On  the  capsizing  of  the  boat,  the  "Woolsey,"  which  was 
still  under  way,  proceeded  at  full  speed  to  the  assistance  of  the  men, 
who  were  several  hundred  feet  from  the  ship  and  near  the  buoy.  Life 
lines  were  thrown  to  the  men,  but  only  one  man  succeeded  in  reaching 
one  and  a  boat  was  lowered  to  render  assistance.  Stanley  and  another 
man  named  Matineu  sank  before  assistance  could  reach  them,  and  owing 
to  the  heavy  tide  their  bodies  were  swept  away  to  a  grave  which  no 
man  names  or  knows. 

Stanley  was  a  friend  in  whom  you  could  confide,  without  fear  of 
disappointment,  one  that  scattered  sunshine  with  his  very  presence, 
for  he  was  always  happy  and  smiling.  His  self-denials  for  those  he 
loved,  his  honesty,  the  passing  words  of  sympathy,  little  acts  of  kind- 
ness— these  are  threads  of  gold  that  gleam  bright  in  the  memory  of 
friends.  As  a  shipmate  he  was  popular  and  had  the  universal  commenda- 
tion of  his  officers.  He  had  already  been  recently  promoted  to  Coxswain 
as  a  petty  officer. 

His  mother,  Mrs.  Mary  Wall  Jones,  three  sisters,  and  six  brothers 
are  left  to  mourn  his  loss.  With  these  surviving  relatives,  the  A.  and  M. 
College  and  his  many  friends  regret  the  cutting  short  of  a  life  that  was 
just  beginning  to  blossom  into  useful  service. 


PERRY  ILES  LYONS 


Perry  Iles  Lyons,  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Joseph  Lyons,  was  born  at  Vicks- 
burg,  Mississippi,  June  19,  1888.  His 
early  education  and  training  were  received 
in  the  public  schools  of  Vicksburg,  and 
in  September,  1906,  he  entered  the 
agricultural  course  at  the  Mississippi 
A.  and  M.  College. 

Although  privileged  to  receive  only 
one  year  of  college  training,  he  made  a 
deep  impression  upon  all  who  knew  him. 
As  characteristic  of  his  family,  Perry 
Lyons  was  known  to  his  instructors  and 
friends  by  his  ability,  accuracy,  and  high 
regard  for  the  truth. 

At  the  time  war  was  declared  Perry  was  employed  as  traveling 
representative  of  the  Sherwin-Williams  Paint  Company,  with  head- 
quarters in  New  Orleans,  Louisiana.  He  gave  up  his  position,  and 
entered  the  aviation  section  of  Uncle  Sam's  army,  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death  was  completing  his  training  at  Barron  Field,  Fort  Worth, 
Texas. 

On  October  10,  1918,  within  three  days  of  the  day  upon  which  he 
was  to  receive  his  commission,  Perry  Lyons  and  two  other  cadets 
were  flying  in  "three  formation"  when  his  machine  collided  with  one 
of  the  others  and  injured  his  control.  He  immediately  began  a  spiral 
to  descend,  but  owing  to  the  injury  to  his  machine  the  spiral  was  not 
wide  enough,  and  just  as  a  bird  wounded  in  one  wing  cannot  control 
his  flight,  so  Perry's  plane  quickly  changed  to  a  nose  dive,  and  he 
crashed  to  the  earth — a  fall  of  3,500  feet.      Death  was  instantaneous. 

Possessing  an  attractive  personality,  a  brilliant  mind,  and  an  un- 
selfish heart,  Perry^Lyons  was  an  exceptional  type  of  man. 

His  mother,  Mrs.  Jessie  D.  Lyons,  of  Vicksburg,  two  sisters,  and 
two  brothers  are  left  to  mourn  his  loss. 

His  body,  in  its  flag-draped  casket,  was  forwarded  to  his  home 
at  Vicksburg,  Mississippi,  where  he  was  laid  to  rest  on  Saturday  after- 
noon, October  12,  1918. 


[48] 


MURRAY  READ  MAXWELL 

Murray  Read  Maxwell  was  born  at  Starkville,  Mississippi, 
April  11,1 900,  and  died  of  pneumonia  while  in  training  with  the  army 
unit  stationed  at  the  A.  and  M.  College,  October  24,  1918. 

Mr.  Maxwell  spent  his  entire  life  in  Starkville,  having  received  his 
elementary  education  in  the  public  schools  of  that  city.  In  September, 
1915,  he  entered  the  freshman  class  in  the  school  of  agriculture  at  the 
A.  and  M.  College.  Having  completed  the  junior  year  he  volunteered 
his  services  to  Uncle  Sam  and  was  being  trained  for  military  service 
at  the  time  of  his  death. 

His  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Herris  Maxwell,  three  brothers,  and  two 
sisters  are  left  to  mourn  his  loss.  With  these  surviving  relatives,  the 
A.  and  M.  College  and  his  many  friends  regret  the  cutting  short  of  a 
life  that  promised  such  great  usefulness. 


[49] 


JOHN  FLETCHER  McCORMICK 


John  Fletcher  McCormick,  First 
Lieutenant  in  the  Aviation  Service, 
yielded  up  his  life  in  behalf  of  his  country 
on  November  3,  1918,  just  eight  days 
before  the  signing  of  the  armistice. 

Mr.  McCormick  was  born  in  Hatties- 
burg  on  December  20,  1897,  and  was 
not,  therefore,  twenty-one  years  of  age 
when  he  made  the  last  great  sacrifice. 
When  seven  years  old,  he  moved  to 
Collins,  where  he  entered  the  city  schools. 
He  graduated  from  the  high  school  in 
1914  and  in  the  same  year  entered  A.  and 
M.  College,  at  which  he  remained  until 
May,  1917,  when,  impelled  by  motives  of  truest  patriotism,  he  volun- 
teered for  military  service.  After  a  short  stay  at  Camp  Pike,  he  was 
transferred  to  the  aviation  work,  in  which  branch  of  the  service  he 
received  a  thorough  training  at  the  ground  school  located  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Texas.  In  October,  1917,  he  arrived  in  France,  where  he 
completed  his  training. 

Mr.  McCormick  met  his  death  as  the  soldier  would  wish;  he  fell 
in  action  and  in  an  action  in  which  he  distinguished  himself  not  only 
for  the  highest  qualities  of  personal  courage,  but  also  for  the  most 
unselfish  consideration  of  the  welfare  of  his  colleagues.  The  brave 
boy  is  survived  by  his  father  and  mother,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  G.  D.  Mc- 
Cormick, of  Collins,  and  by  four  sisters,  Mrs.  T.  H.  Harper  and  Misses 
Georgina,  Katherine,  and  Gladys  McCormick. 

The  war  surely  claimed  no  nobler  sacrifice  than  John  F.  McCormick. 
In  him  was  blended  a  rare  combination  of  qualities  that  promise 
certain  success.  He  had  an  intellectual  grasp  which  made  easy  the 
acquiring  of  a  good  education;  he  had  a  winsome  personality  which 
gave  him  a  large  influence  over  his  fellow  men;  and  he  had  a  character 
true  to  the  highest  ideals  of  life. 

Many  tender  tributes  have  been  offered  to  his  memory  by  people 
of  widely  different  circumstances.  His  high  school  teachers,  his  col- 
leagues in  arms,  and  a  host  of  personal  friends  have  borne  witness  to 
the  capacity  of  his  mind,  the  righteousness  of  his  conduct,  and  the 
loveliness  of  his  spirit.  The  records  he  left,  too,  in  the  schools  and  in 
the  army  are  eloquent  evidence  that  he  used  to  the  finest  advantage 
that  time  God  allotted  to  him.

georgl  p.  Mcdonald,  jr. 

George  Prentiss  McDonald,  Jr. 
was  born  in  Jones  County,  Mississippi, 
May  29,  1898,  the  only  child  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  B.  P.  McDonald.  In  1903  he 
moved  with  his  parents  to  Collins.  He 
entered  the  Collins  Graded  School  and 
in  1915  graduated  from  the  High  School 
of  that  town  with  the  highest  honors  of 
his  class.  The  following  year  he  entered 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  and 
spent  two  sessions  as  a  student  in  the 
school  of  engineering.  On  August  5,  1917, 
he  was  mustered  into  the  United  States 
army  service  as  a  member  of  the  Curtis 
Field  Artillery  and  received  his  training  at  Camp  Beauregard,  Louisiana. 
On  July  15,  1918,  he  landed  in  France  with  the  American  Expeditionary 
Forces,  and  was  assigned  to  Battery  B,  320th  Field  Artillery,  in  which 
battery  he  served  until  his  death. 

After  three  weeks  of  training  in  France,  George  accompanied  his 
battery  to  the  front,  getting  into  action  near  Toul.  Very  shortly 
his  battery  was  moved  up  to  the  St.  Mihiel  Sector,  where  they  went 
through  twelve  days  of  gruelling  offensive.  After  only  a  few  days  of 
rest  Battery  B  was  ordered  to  proceed  to  the  Argonne  Forest  area. 
Accordingly,  on  October  15,  1918,  the  battery  began  its  advance 
beyond  the  little  town  of  Fleville  and  took  its  position  on  one  of  the 
neighboring  hills.  As  the  last  caisson  was  rumbling  along  in  the  out- 
skirts of  the  village,  with  its  load  of  American  shells,  a  German  shell 
came  over  and  landed  in  the  road  with  all  its  destructive  power,  a 
fragment  of  it  claiming  the  life  of  Prentiss  McDonald,  Jr.  Paying  the 
price  on  the  field  of  honor,  this  hero  passed  out  smiling,  to  meet  his  God. 
The  following  morning  he  was  buried  just  back  of  the  town  of 
Fleville,  France,  his  chaplain  performing  the  simple  ceremony  that 
marked  the  last  tribute  to  a  soldier  dead. 

George  was  the  sole  pride  of  his  venerable  father's  life,  his  mother 
dying  when  he  was  in  his  early  teens.  The  seriousness  of  his  purpose, 
his  generous  spirit  of  friendship,  and  the  purity  of  his  life  are  prominent 
traits  that  his  numerous  friends  will  always  remember. 

Only  his  father,  Mr.  G.  P.  McDonald,  of  Collins,  Mississippi,  sur- 
vives him,  but  with  this  father  the  A.  and  M.  College  and  his  numerous 
friends  are  left  to  mourn  the  loss  of  this  noble  young  man.

HOMER  DANIEL  McDONALD 

Homer  Daniel  McDonald  was  the 
son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Daniel  C.  McDonald, 
of  Moscow,  Mississippi.  He  was  born 
near  Moscow,  October  2S,  1 889.  He  died 
from  broncho-pneumonia  while  in  the 
American  Hospital  at  Neufchateau, 
France,  September  9,  1918. 

"Mac,"  as  he  was  familiarly  called 
by  his  friends,  received  his  elementary 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  Moscow. 
In  September,  1907,  he  entered  the 
Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College.  During 
the  second  term  of  his  stay  at  A.  and  M. 
he  had  a  spell  of  measles  which  affected 
his  eyes  to  such  an  extent  that  he  was  forced  to  withdraw  and  drop  his 
studies  altogether.  Returning  to  his  home  in  Moscow,  he  was  employed 
as  a  clerk  in  a  general  merchandise  store.  This  position  he  held  until 
December  10,  1917,  when  he  enlisted  in  the  army.  After  a  short 
period  of  training  on  this  side,  "Mac"  was  promoted  to  Sergeant  and 
assigned  to  the  Seventh  Company,  Fourth  Motor  Mechanics  Regiment. 
Early  in  the  summer  of  1918  he  accompanied  his  regiment  to  France. 
Within  a  few  months  after  reaching  France  he  contracted  influenza 
and  was  transferred  to  Base  Hospital  No.  66,  at  Neufchateau.  Here 
broncho-pneumonia  developed,  claiming  his  life  on  September  9,  1918, 
He  was  unconscious  almost  the  whole  time  he  was  sick.  Just  before 
dying  he  regained  consciousness  and  told  his  nurse  that  he  realized  his 
condition  and  was  "ready  and  willing  to  die." 

He  was  given  a  military  funeral,  with  an  eight  gun  salute,  and  was 
buried  in  the  cemetery  attached  to  Base  Hospital  66. 

His  high  standing  among  the  officers  and  men  of  his  regiment  is 
an  endorsement  of  his  manly  character  and  unselfish  disposition.  Of 
him  his  commanding  officer  said:  "He  was  a  perfect  gentleman  at 
all  times  and  an  excellent  soldier." 

Besides  numerous  friends  Mr.  McDonald  leaves  his  sister,  Mrs. 
T.  M.  Jackson,  of  Moscow,  to  mourn  his  loss.

FDWIN  J.  McMULLEN 


*    4*  J 


Edwin  J.  McMullen  was  born  a  few 
^K  p  miles  west   ol    Starkville,    Mississippi,   on 

*M      s..  ^  March  5,    l(S(M.      I  lis  early  education  was 

obtained  at  the  county  school  near  his 
home.  While  he  was  still  a  school  boy 
his  father  died,  and  the  family  moved  to 
the  nearby  town  of  Maben.  He  con- 
tinued going  to  school  at  that  place, 
graduating  from  the  Maben  High  School. 
Edwin  entered  the  freshman  class  of 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  in 
September  of  191  I.  During  the  year  he 
elected  to  take  the  agricultural  course. 
He  remained  at  college  until  about  the 
end  of  the  first  term  in  his  sophomore  year.  It  then  became  necessary 
for  him  to  return  home.  He  planned  to  return  to  college  later  and 
finish  his  courses.  However,  the  turn  of  circumstances  denied  him 
this  opportunity.  Even  though  he  never  returned  to  college,  he  spent 
much  time  reading  and  studying. 

The  next  year  was  spent  in  farming  at  home.  In  the  fall  of  the 
same  year  he  accepted  a  position  as  teacher  in  the  school  at  Slate 
Springs,  Mississippi. 

The  following  years  were  spent  in  teaching  school  in  Carroll  County, 
Mississippi.  He  was  teaching  there  when  called  to  the  colors  about 
May  25,  1918. 

Edwin  was  sent  first  to  Camp  Shelby  near  Hattiesburg.  He  was 
assigned  to  a  gun  company  for  training.  He  remained  at  Camp  Shelby 
until  September  12,  when  he  was  transferred  to  Camp  Mills,  New 
York.  Edwin  remained  in  this  camp  until  October  1 ,  being  moved  to 
port  of  embarkation  on  that  date. 

It  was  decided  to  send  this  contingent  over  on  an  English  boat. 
Montreal,  Canada,  was  the  place  set  from  which  they  were  to  sail. 
He  reached  this  city  on  October  2,  and  immediately  embarked.  Edwin 
was  sent  overseas  in  a  machine  company,  which  had  been  assigned  to 
the  150th  Infantry  of  the  38th  Division. 

On  October  6th,  which  was  after  they  had  been  at  sea  for  four  days, 
Edwin  was  taken  sick  with  influenza.  He  then  went  to  the  hospital 
on  the  boat  for  three  or  four  days.  Thinking  that  his  condition  was 
improved,  he  returned  to  his  company  for  a  day  or  two.     After  this 

[531 


he  again  went  to  the  hospital  and  remained  until  the  boat  reached 
England.  English  nurses  met  the  boat  at  Liverpool,  England,  on 
October  18,  and  took  all  sick  men  to  the  base  hospital.  The  influenza 
developed  into  pneumonia,  and  death  came  on  October  24,  1918. 

Edwin  J.  McMullen  is  survived  by  a  mother,  three  sisters,  and  two 
brothers.  His  death  was  a  great  shock  to  them.  It  was  especially  hard 
for  them  to  bear  since  Edwin's  older  brother,  Elmer  H.  McMullen, 
died  of  pneumonia  in  a  training  camp  in  New  York  only  two  days  after 
Edwin's  death. 

Edwin  J.  McMullen  was  a  young  man  of  fine  Christian  character. 
His  loss  is  keenly  felt  by  his  many  friends.

ORION  LINDEL  MITCHELL 


Orion  Lindel  Mitchell,  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  W.  B.  Mitchell,  of  Eupora, 
Mississippi,  was  born  on  June  26,  1896, 
in  Choctaw  County.  He  attended  the 
public  schools  of  his  county  until  he  had 
completed  his  grammar  school  education. 
For  his  preparatory  school  work  he  at- 
tended Bennett  Academy,  at  Mathiston, 
Mississippi.  During  the  session  of  1912 
and  1914,  he  served  as  page  in  the  Mis- 
sissippi Legislature,  at  Jackson,  dis- 
charging every  duty  with  unusual  credit 
for  a  boy  of  his  age. 

In  the  fall  of  1914,  he  entered  the 
freshman  class  in  electrical  engineering  at  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M. 
College.  His  quiet,  business-like  manner  soon  marked  him  as  an 
earnest  student.  As  he  became  known,  he  found  deep  friendships 
among  his  classmates.  He  was  active  in  track  athletics.  Just  three 
weeks  after  war  had  been  declared,  he  volunteered  for  service,  leaving 
college  at  the  end  of  his  junior  year. 

Lieutenant  Mitchell  received  his  ground  school  training  at  the 
University  of  Texas,  at  Austin.  From  there  he  went  to  Kelly  Field, 
No.  2,  near  San  Antonio,  Texas,  for  training  in  aviation.  On  January 
9,  1918,  he  received  a  commission  as  First  Lieutenant,  Aviation  Ser- 
vice, Signal  Corps  Section.  As  evidence  of  his  splendid  worth  and  his 
record  at  Kelly  Field,  he  was  retained  there  as  an  instructor  of  cadets. 
He  had  already  graduated  over  thirty  men  from  his  classes  when,  on 
March  11,  1918,  in  an  accident,  his  plane  crashed  to  earth  and  his 
valuable  life  was  brought  to  its  close. 

O.  L.,  as  his  classmates  called  him,  left  his  father,  W.  B.  Mitchell, 
a  brother,  and  a  sister,  who  reside  at  Eupora.

THOMAS  IRVING  PARKER 

Thomas  I.  Parker,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  M.  Parker,  of 
Louisville,  was  born  in  Winston  County,  Mississippi,  on  July  1 ,  1 899. 
His  elementary  and  high  school  training  was  received  in  the  Louisville 
public  schools.  Early  in  life  Thomas  joined  the  Presbyterian  Church, 
and  was  a  very  active  member  until  his  death.  At  the  age  of  nineteen 
he  entered  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  September,  1918.  Shortly 
after  matriculating  he  joined  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps  at 
the  College  and  entered  upon  his  intensive  training  with  great  en- 
thusiasm, when  he  contracted  influenza,  which  very  soon  developed 
into  pneumonia.  He  died  October  9,  1918.  He  was  buried  at  Louis- 
ville. 

During  the  short  while  Thomas  Parker  was  at  College  he  was  always 
cheerful  and  pleasing  in  manner,  which  made  for  him  a  host  of  friends. 
These  with  his  relatives  mourn  the  loss  of  a  splendid  young  man.

MARSTON  GORDON  PEETS  and  PAUL  BRUCE  PEETS 

The  passing  of  the  Peets  brothers,  lovable  and  promising  boys  who 
died  within  a  week  of  each  other,  forms  one  of  the  most  touching  inci- 
dents in  all  the  tragic  chapter  of  the  great  war  story.  A  further  note 
of  sadness  enters  into  the  deplorable  chronicle  when  one  records  the 
fact  that  a  third  brother  also  died  during  the  epidemic  of  influenza. 

The  life  stories  of  Marston  and  Paul  Peets  are  well-nigh  identical; 
and  in  death,  as  was  said  of  old,  they  were  not  divided.  In  fact, 
when  Marston,  who  went  first,  was  carried  away  from  the  campus, 
Paul  seemed  to  lose  even  the  desire  to  live.  All  who  looked  at  that 
time  into  his  wondrously  deep  eyes  will  never  forget  the  unutterable 
distress  there  portrayed;  and  one  week  later  to  the  day  he  joined  his 
brother  in  the  Great  Beyond.  It  would  be  a  kind  of  inaccuracy,  there- 
fore, to  attempt  to  tell  separately  the  story  of  the  lives  cut  short  pathetic- 
ally soon. 

The  boys  were  born  in  Lessley,  Mississippi,  Marston  on  December 
19,  1896,  and  Paul  on  July  31,  1899.  They  were  the  children  of  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  George  H.  Peets  and  belonged  to  one  of  the  most  honored 
families  of  Mississippi.  While  both  were  mere  children  their  parents 
died,  leaving  considerable  property.  The  young  Peets  boys,  notably 
Marston,  the  older,  soon  developed  business  acumen  that,  coupled 
with  energy  and  vision,  made  them  respected  as  men  of  affairs  even 
in  their  youth. 

After  completing  courses  of  study  in  the  Wilkinson  County  schools, 
Paul  having  graduated  from  the  agricultural  high  school  at  Woodville, 
the  brothers  entered  A.  and  M.  College  in  the  fall  of  1918.  Both  of 
them  enrolled  in  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  During  the  terrible  days  of  influenza 
the  boys  contracted  this  disease  and  sank  rapidly.  Marston  died  on 
October  10,  1918,  and  Paul  on  October  17,  1918.  They  are  survived 
by  two  sisters,  Mrs.  L.  O'Fallon  and  Miss  Kate  Peets;  and  by  four 
brothers,  Messrs.  R.  D.  Peets,  L.  C.  Peets,  George  Peets,  and  Granville 
Peets. 

The  death  of  the  two  boys  seems  sad  enough  when  one  thinks  of 
the  promising  future  that  lay  before  them,  but  the  loss  looms  even 
greater  when  one  remembers  what  lovely  spirits  and  noble  characters 
these  boys  were.  They  were  gentlemen  in  all  sincerity;  they  were 
unselfish  and  clean  and  devoted  to  the  finest  ideals  which  men  can 
cherish;  and  in  the  hearts  of  all  who  knew  them  they  are  held  in  un- 
forgetting  affection.

EDWARD  LEE  PENTECOST 

Edward  Lee  Pentecost  was  born 
near  Elder  Grove,  in  the  southern  part 
of  Carroll  County,  Mississippi,  February 
11,1 893.  As  a  boy  he  was  always  cheer- 
ful and  looked  upon  the  sunny  side  of 
life.  His  ancestors  were  among  the 
pioneer  settlers  of  Carroll  County. 
"Penny,"  as  he  was  familiarly  called  by 
his  classmates  and  chums,  when  a  child 
enjoyed  nothing  more  than  to  listen  to 
the  thrilling  adventures  of  '65  as  related 
by  his  grandfather,  who  was  a  Confed- 
erate veteran.  He  attended  the  public 
school  at  Seven  Pines  and  entered  the 
freshman  class  at  A.  and  M.,  September,  191 1.  In  1915,  he  completed 
the  prescribed  course  of  study  in  civil  and  mining  engineering,  receiving 
with  honor  the  B.S.  degree.  The  following  year  he  entered  the  junior 
class  at  the  University  of  Virginia. 

At  the  time  our  country  became  engaged  in  the  war  "Penny"  was 
employed  as  a  civil  engineer  for  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad,  and  was 
in  line  for  promotion.  Leaving  this  splendid  position  he  entered  the 
army,  attending  the  Officers'  Training  Camp  at  Camp  Stanley,  Texas, 
where  he  was  commissioned  a  Second  Lieutenant  of  Field  Artillery. 
Leaving  Camp  Stanley,  he  spent  several  months  at  Camp  Greene,  Char- 
lotte, North  Carolina,  and  two  months  at  Fort  Sill,  Oklahoma,  prepara- 
tory to  going  oversea.  On  May  25,  1918,  he  arrived  in  France  and 
was  soon  in  the  thick  of  the  fighting,  going  through  the  Argonne  Front 
Drive,  the  St.  Mihiel  Salient,  and  the  battle  of  Chateau  Thierry  with- 
out a  scratch. 

Strange  indeed  are  the  events  of  life.  Only  the  Omnipotent  Hand 
is  able  to  direct  us.  Here  our  friend  faced  shell-fire,  gas,  and  gun- 
powder, only  to  contract  a  cold  which  developed  into  pneumonia, 
finally  claiming  him,  while  he  lay  in  the  American  Red  Cross  Hospital 
No.  28,  Linoges,  France,  November  5,  1918.  The  funeral  services 
were  conducted  by  Chaplain  Percy  M.  Kendall,  with  all  military  honors, 
on  November  6.  He  sleeps  in  the  American  Military  Cemetery,  which 
is  located  in  a  beautiful  spot  near  Linonges  and  near  to  a  large  French 
cemetery.      His  grave  number  is  135. 

Lieutenant  Pentecost  was  one  of  Mississippi's  most  popular  sons. 

He  was  not  only  attractive  in  personality,  but  he  was  entirely  unselfish. 

His  genuine  devotion  to  his  friends,  whom  he  counted  by  the  score, 

and  his  manly,  Christian  character  are  attributes  that  will  be  cherished 

in  memory  by  all  who  knew  him. 


JOSEPH  STREET  PETERS 


The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  born 
on  May  8,  1888,  in  Artesia,  Mississippi. 
After  completing  his  studies  in  the  public 
school  of  Artesia,  he  entered  the  freshman 
class  of  the  engineering  school  at  A.  and 
M.  in  the  fall  of  1905.  He  completed 
the  work  of  the  freshman  year  and  re- 
turned to  college  as  a  sophomore  during 
the  session  1906-1907. 

After  leaving  college  Peters  was  for 
sometime  employed  in  New  York  City. 
Later  he  was  engaged  in  the  cotton 
brokerage  business  in  Texas.  Soon  after 
the  United  States  entered  the  war  he 
resigned  his  position  to  enter  the  military  service  of  his  country.  He 
enlisted  in  the  aviation  branch  of  the  army,  and  soon  gained  recog- 
nition as  an  apt  student  and  a  potential  military  aviator  of  great 
promise.  He  had  been  in  the  service  only  a  few  months,  and  was  in  the 
final  stages  of  his  training  course  at  Kelly  Field,  San  Antonio,  Texas, 
when  death  overtook  him,  the  result  of  an  aeroplane  accident.  The 
guard  of  honor  of  the  aviation  service,  the  numerous  and  beautiful 
floral  offerings,  and  the  many  soldiers  and  personal  friends — all  of 
these  in  evidence  on  the  day  of  the  funeral  of  the  unfortunate  aviator 
attested  to  the  popularity  of  Joe  Peters. 

In  college  Joe  Peters  was  always  of  that  cheerful  and  pleasing  manner 
that  made  for  him  the  host  of  friends  in  college  which  he  had  always 
enjoyed  in  his  home  community.  The  many  old  A.  and  M.  men  of 
the  years  '05,  '06  and  '07  will  grieve  with  the  young  wife  and  little 
daughter,  with  the  mother,  and  with  the  two  brothers,  who  are  saddened 
on  account  of  the  death  of  "Joe"  Peters.

HENRY  HARRIS  ROBERT 

Henry  Harris  Robert,  Major  in 
the  Engineering  Corps  of  the  U.  S. 
Regular  Army,  died  at  Vancouver  Bar- 
racks, Washington,  on  September  1,  1917. 
Major  Robert  was  born  in  Center- 
ville,  Mississippi,  September  8,  1882. 
After  a  thorough  training  in  elementary 
subjects,  he  entered  A.  and  M.  College 
in  the  fall  of  1897.  During  his  junior 
year  at  this  institution,  he  won  in  a  com- 
petitive examination  held  at  Jackson  an 
appointment  to  the  United  States  Mili- 
tary Academy  at  West  Point.  Here  he 
made  an  exceptional  record  for  scholar- 
ship, graduating  in  1 903  as  the  commanding  cadet  officer.  It  is  probable 
that  his  very  assiduous  devotion  to  duty  in  his  student  days  began  a 
slow  undermining  of  his  health. 

The  outbreak  of  the  war  found  Major  Robert  eager  to  offer  his 
talents  to  his  country  in  the  hour  of  her  supreme  need.  Although 
recognizing  his  rapidly  weakening  physical  condition,  the  War  Depart- 
ment yielded  to  his  request  not  to  be  sent  to  the  hospital  but  for  assign- 
ment to  some  command  likely  to  go  soon  to  active  service  in  France, 
and  ordered  him  to  duty  with  the  4th  Regiment  Engineering  Corps  at 
Vancouver  Barracks. 

The  change  occurred  about  the  27th  of  August,  and  on  September  1 
the  soldier  lost  his  last  fight.  His  death  resulted  from  a  nervous 
breakdown  following  excessive  overwork  while  in  poor  condition. 
Major  Robert  is  survived  by  his  father,  Dr.  J.  C.  Robert,  Sr.,  of  Center- 
ville,  by  four  brothers,  Dr.  J.  C.  Robert,  Jr.,  of  A.  and  M.  College, 
Commander  W.  P.  Robert,  U.  S.  N.,  Dr.  J.  J.  Robert,  of  Baton  Rouge,  and 
Mr.  S.  A.  Robert,  of  Jackson,  Tennessee;  by  his  wife  and  two  small  sons. 

Though  crowned  with  much  achievement,  the  working  years  of  his 
life  were  really  a  long-drawn  struggle  against  ill  health.  Several  years 
before  his  death,  the  War  Department  had  ordered  him  to  take  a  year's 
complete  rest  in  New  Mexico.  He  rallied  bravely  after  this  period, 
but  did  not  experience  a  complete  recovery. 

Major  Robert  was  a  man  of  peculiar  gifts,  not  only  in  themselves 
but  in  their  combination.  He  was  endowed  with  a  mind  marvelous  in 
its  quick  and  sure  penetration;  with  an  influence,  born  of  inherent 
strength,  over  his  fellows;  with  a  sensitive  conscience;  and  with  utter 
consecration  to  those  great  ideals,  spiritual  as  well  as  professional, 
which  constantly  challenged  his  efforts. 


LAMBERT  C.  ROBINSON 

Lambert  C.  Robinson,  son  of  Rev.  and  Mrs.  E.  J.  Robinson,  was 
born  on  June  22,  1885,  at  Brandon,  Mississippi.  He  gave  his  life  for 
his  country  December  20,  1918,  dying  in  the  United  States  Army 
Hospital  at  Dernback,  Germany,  from  wounds  received  in  action  a  few 
days  previous  to  the  signing  of  the  armistice. 

Lieutenant  Robinson  was  reared  at  Brandon,  where  he  attended 
the  public  school,  completing  his  school  training  in  the  spring  of  1905. 
In  September  of  the  same  year  he  entered  the  freshman  class  in  the 
school  of  agriculture  at  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College.  Owing  to  the  death  of  his  father,  in  1906,  his  college  training 
was  cut  short  after  only  one  year  at  A.  and  M.  He  then  began  working 
for  an  insurance  company,  and  within  a  short  while  was  made  agent 
for  the  Franklin  Insurance  Company  with  headquarters  at  Dyersburg, 
Tennessee.  This  position  he  held  until  the  United  States  entered  the 
war. 

On  May  14,  1917,  Mr.  Robinson  enlisted  in  the  army  at  Fort  Ogle- 
thorpe, Georgia,  and  attended  the  first  Officers'  Training  Camp  at 
that  station,  receiving  his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant  on  August 
22,  1917.  He  was  immediately  assigned  to  the  16th  Machine  Gun 
Company,  and  on  September  7,  1917,  sailed  for  France.  With  the 
16th  Machine  Gun  Company  he  served  throughout  the  war  and  was  in 
active  service  at  the  front  until  the  early  part  of  November,  1918,  when 
he  received  wounds  that  claimed  his  life. 

Lieutenant  Robinson's  clean,  manly  life  made  him  respected  by  all 
who  knew  him,  while  his  warm,  unselfish  friendship  caused  him  to  be 
loved  by  all  who  had  claims  on  him. 

He  is  survived  by  his  mother,  Mrs.  E.  J.  Robinson,  two  sisters,  Mrs. 
G.  W.  Pollock  and  Mrs.  D.  C.  Cox,  and  two  brothers,  J.  F.  and  G.  O. 
Robinson.

EDWARD  LAFAYETTE  ROSE 

Edward  Lafayette  Rose,  the  son 
of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  C.  M.  Rose,  was  born  at 
Saulsberry,  Tennessee,  on  July  26,  1896. 
His  early  youth  was  spent  in  Saulsberry, 
Aberdeen,  Mississippi,  and  Yazoo  City, 
Mississippi.  His  early  education  was  re- 
ceived from  the  public  school  of  Aberdeen 
and  the  high  school  of  Yazoo  City.  After 
completing  the  tenth  grade  in  high  school, 
he  entered  the  freshman  class  in  the 
school  of  agriculture  at  the  Mississippi 
A.  and  M.  College,  September,  1915. 

Although  his  college  career  covered 
only  one  year,  he  made  a  very  favorable 
impression  upon  all  with  whom  he  came  in  contact.  He  was  a  good 
student  and  popular  with  his  professors  and  classmates. 

On  May  7,  1917,  he  enlisted  as  an  apprentice  seaman  in  the  navy, 
at  St.  Louis,  Missouri.  He  was  immediately  sent  to  the  Great  Lakes 
Naval  Training  Station  for  training,  and  was  later,  November  8,  1917, 
assigned  to  the  U.  S.  S.  Vermont  and  promoted  to  First-class  Seaman. 
While  on  duty  on  board  the  ship  Edward  L.  Rose  met  his  untimely 
death,  January  15,  1918.  Attempting  to  descend  through  an  armoured 
hatchway  from  the  berth  deck  to  the  deck  below,  Mr.  Rose  encountered 
a  heavy  armoured  hatch  which  had  become  unhooked,  and,  owing  to 
the  motion  of  the  ship  in  a  heavy  sea,  swung  against  him,  pinning  his 
head  and  left  shoulder  and  arm  between  the  hatch  cover  and  the  edge. 
Death  resulted  within  twenty-five  minutes.  His  body  was  laid  to 
rest  in  the  West  View  Cemetery,  Atlanta,  Georgia,  on  January  23, 
1918. 

Mr.  Rose  had  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  since 
childhood,  and  all  who  knew  him  can  testify  that  he  lived  the  life  of  a 
gentleman,  never  shirking  his  duties  toward  God  nor  man. 

His  parents,  Mrs.  Mary  Vivian  Rose  and  Mr.  C.  M.  Rose,  and  three 
brothers,  Carl  M.,  F.  Preston,  and  Dudley  Rose,  are  left  to  mourn  his 
loss.

ABNER  POTTS  HUBERT  SAGE 


Abner  Potts  Hubert  Sage  was  the 
son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  W.  Sage. 
He  was  born  at  Cocheran,  Mississippi, 
August  2,  1889.  After  completing  the 
public  school  course  Mr.  Sage  attended 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  for 
two  years.  While  at  the  A.  and  M.  he 
was  in  the  engineering  school,  doing  the 
required  work  of  the  freshman  and  sopho- 
more years.  From  the  A.  and  M.  he 
went  to  the  University  of  Mississippi, 
and  was  graduated  from  there  in  both 
the  literary  department  and  the  school 
of  medicine. 

Dr.  Sage  seemed  to  be  ambitious  to  excel  in  his  profession  and  left 
no  stone  unturned  to  equip  himself  for  the  most  efficient  service  in 
his  chosen  field.  In  order  to  do  this,  after  finishing  the  medical  course 
at  the  State  University,  he  went  to  Jefferson  Medical  College,  of  Phila- 
delphia, one  of  the  foremost  institutions  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States. 
He  was  graduated  from  this  college,  which  was  evidence  of  the  fact  that 
he  was  then  well  prepared  to  enter  upon  his  profession  as  a  private  prac- 
titioner. But  he  was  by  no  means  through  with  his  course  of  prepara- 
tion after  leaving  Philadelphia,  for  he  then  went  to  New  York  City 
and  spent  two  years  in  King's  County  Hospital,  thus  acquiring  much 
valuable  experience  and  useful  professional  knowledge.  From  New 
York  City  he  went  to  Memphis,  Tennessee,  where  another  year  was 
spent  in  the  hospital  of  that  city,  during  which  time  he  came  into 
possession  of  valuable  information  as  to  local  conditions,  and  how  to 
treat  many  of  the  most  common  diseases  in  the  places  where  he  was 
soon  to  practice. 

But  the  tender  of  the  professional  services  of  this  scholarly  and 
thoroughly  equipped  young  man  to  the  public  was  of  brief  duration, 
for  he  practiced  barely  one  year  when  he  joined  the  Medical  Corps 
of  the  United  States  Army.  His  energy,  professional  skill,  his  valuable 
life,  he  then  gave  unreservedly  to  his  country  to  be  used  that  Democracy 
might  live. 

He  left  Memphis  on  September  10,  1917,  and  reached  England  on 
October  26  of  the  same  year.  He  worked  in  the  hospitals  of  England 
until  March,  1918.  Then  it  was  that  the  Germans  were  launching 
their  great  spring  drive,  and  Dr.  Sage  went  to  France.     On  account 

[63] 


of  his  unusually  good  training,  his  youth  and  bravery,  he  was  assigned 
to  field  hospital  service,  which  brought  him  up  near  the  front. 

On  the  night  of  May  30,  while  working  in  the  operating  theater  of 
the  hospital  at  Doullenes,  a  German  airman  dropped  a  shell  on  the 
roof,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  it  was  brilliantly  illuminated  with 
searchlights  playing  upon  the  Red  Cross  flags  in  such  a  manner  that 
there  could  be  no  mistaking  the  character  of  the  hospital  building. 
The  bomb  went  through  the  roof  without  exploding  until  it  lit  in  the 
operating  room  on  the  first  floor.  The  explosion  killed  Dr.  Sage,  two 
Red  Cross  nurses,  six  orderlies,  and  other  persons  in  the  operating  room, 
thirty-seven  in  all.  Not  satiated  with  the  ruthless  destruction  and 
slaughter  of  this  bomb,  it  is  said  that  the  brutish  airman  came  back 
and  emptied  his  machine  gun  in  the  smoking  ruins  of  this  hospital. 

Though  his  period  of  service  was  short,  for  he  soon  made  the  supreme 
sacrifice,  few  heroes  have  a  more  glorious  record  to  their  credit  or  more 
richly  deserve  a  warm  place  in  the  hearts  of  their  countrymen  than 
Dr.  Sage.  Without  waiting  to  be  drafted,  he  volunteered  his  services, 
and  his  earnest  request  was  "active  service  at  once."  His  commanding 
officer  said  that  he  had  endeared  himself  to  all  his  colleagues  and  that 
his  loss  was  felt  very  keenly.  The  desire  to  help  those  who  needed 
help  was  a  passion  with  him.  Just  before  he  was  killed  he  refused  to 
be  relieved  from  duty,  for  he  was  unmindful  of  self  when  he  thought 
his  services  were  needed.  Truly  may  it  be  said  that  he  sacrificed  himself 
for  others.  No  hero  closed  his  career  in  a  more  fitting  manner  than 
Dr.  Sage  did.  His  last  act  was  that  of  attending  the  injuries  of  others. 
When  the  end  came  to  him  his  suffering  must  have  been  momentary. 

Among  the  relatives  who  survive  him  are  his  sisters,  Miss  Jerome 
Sage  and  Mrs.  Frank  Hogan,  of  Starkville.

THOMAS  LITTLETON  SEALS 

Thomas  Littleton  Seals  was  born 
at  Duncan,  Bolivar  County,  Mississippi, 
November  6,  1884.  His  early  childhood 
was  spent  near  his  birthplace,  where  he 
attended  public  school.  For  two  years 
he  attended  the  public  schools  of  Cleve- 
land, Mississippi,  and  in  1905  he  entered 
Christian  Brothers  College,  Memphis, 
Tennessee.  After  having  spent  six  years 
there  Thomas  matriculated  as  a  freshman 
in  the  school  of  agriculture  at  the  A.  and 
M.  College  of  Mississippi,  191  1.  Being  a 
natural  leader,  he  was  early  chosen 
President  of  the  freshman  class  at  A.  and 
M.,  during  the  session  1911-12.  After  completing  the  sophomore 
year,  Thomas  did  not  return  to  A.  and  M.,  but  took  up  work  in  one  of 
the  Memphis  banks. 

When  war  was  declared,  he  had  risen  to  the  important  position  of 
Assistant  Cashier  of  the  Mercantile  National  Bank,  of  Memphis, 
Tennessee.  He  became  connected  with  the  32d  Machine  Gun  Battalion 
in  the  82d  Division,  and  went  overseas  early  in  the  war.  On  May  29, 
1918,  Lieutenant  Seals  received  a  wound  which  caused  his  death.  It 
was  a  loss  to  all  who  knew  him. 

Besides  a  host  of  friends,  Thomas  leaves  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Claud  Seals,  Sr.,  and  two  brothers,  Scott  W.  and  Claud,  Jr.

CHARLES  KILPATRICK  SEAWRIGHT 

Charles  Kilpatrick  Seawright,  only  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Theo- 
dore J.  Seawright,  was  born  in  Verona,  Mississippi,  on  November  6, 
1894.  His  earlier  days  were  spent  in  Verona,  where  he  attended  the 
public  schools  and  high  school.  Upon  graduation  from  the  Verona 
High  School,  he  entered  the  course  in  civil  engineering  at  the  University 
of  Mississippi. 

In  the  fall  of  1917,  he  entered  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  taking 
up  the  course  in  business  administration,  which  he  continued  until 
the  spring  of  1918,  when  he  volunteered.  Being  assigned,  in  May,  to 
the  detachment  of  vocational  training  at  A.  and  M.,  he  chose  training 
in  radio  operation.  At  the  close  of  two  months'  training  here,  the 
detachment  moved  on  to  Camp  Forrest,  at  Chattanooga,  Tennessee. 
About  the  1st  of  October  he  was  ordered  overseas.  While  on  the  way, 
he  died  of  bronchial  pneumonia  on  board  the  U.  S.  George  Washington, 
on  the  Atlantic  Ocean.  Another  noble,  Christian  young  man  gave  up 
his  life  for  his  country  and  the  cause  of  democracy. 

Besides  his  parents,  Theodore  J.  Seawright  and  Lucie  K.  Seawright, 
he  left  an  only  sister,  Miss  Theo,  to  mourn  his  death.

I 

Joseph  Hiserodt  Sharpe,  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Louis  K.  Sharpe,  of  Natchez, 
Mississippi,  was  born  on  October  26, 
1896. 

His  early  education  was  received  in 
the  public  schools  of  Natchez.  He 
entered  the  freshman  class  in  agriculture 
in  September,  1913,  and  applying  himself 
diligently  to  his  work,  he  graduated  in 
June,  1916.  While  in  school,  "Joe,"  as 
he  was  known  to  his  friends,  was  a 
leader  of  no  mean  ability.  He  was  an 
active  member  of  the  Lee  Guards,  the 
Philotechnic  Literary  Society,  and  several 
social  clubs. 

Immediately  after  the  outbreak  of  the  war  between  the  U.  S.  and 
Germany,  Mr.  Sharpe  resigned  a  splendid  position  with  the  Rock  Island 
Plow  Company,  at  Rock  Island,  Illinois,  and  volunteered  his  services  to 
Uncle  Sam. 

He  entered  the  Officers'  Reserve  Corps,  at  Fort  Sheridan.  After 
six  months'  training  there,  he  transferred  to  the  Aviation  Service,  in 
which  he  was  greatly  interested.  He  was  stationed  at  Champaign, 
Illinois,  for  his  ground  school  training.  His  keen  intellect,  his  cheerful 
optimism,  his  energy  and  hard  work  soon  won  him  advancement  and 
the  cordial  respect  and  admiration  of  the  men  of  the  field.  Naturally 
and  quickly  leaders  in  the  camp  developed.  Among  these  were  the 
"Big  Five,"  and  "Joey"  Sharpe  was  the  moving  spirit  of  these.  One 
of  his  chums  wrote  of  him:  "He  was  the  finest  of  the  fine,  and  we 
loved  him  as  a  brother."  Out  of  a  school  of  one  hundred,  he  was  one 
of  seven  to  receive  their  Colonel's  recommendation  for  overseas  service. 
Thrilling  with  joy  and  patriotic  fervor,  he  embarked,  at  New  York, 
September  17,  1917,  for  Europe  and  the  Great  War.  He  landed 
in  Liverpool  on  October  3,  and  was  soon  assigned  to  the  Royal  Flying 
Corps.  While  receiving  his  British  ground  training,  he  was  stationed 
at  Oxford  amid  the  rich,  historic  associations  of  the  great  university. 
While  billeted  in  Christ  Church  College,  he  was  quartered  in  a  room 
once  occupied  by  William  Penn.  Doubtless  this  fact  and  these  asso- 
ciations were  an  inspiration  to  him,  and  caused  him  to  rededicate  his 
life  to  the  service  and  the  cause  of  right. 

By  this  time  the  pall  of  war  was  pressing  hard  upon  the  English 

[67] 


people,  and  the  care-worn,  war-weary,  dejected  spirit,  which  he  saw 
about  him,  was  a  source  of  alarm  to  him.  He  feared  for  the  morale  of 
the  people,  and  frequently  and  continually  wrote  back  to  the  States: 
"Send  more  men,  money  and  munitions,  with  the  greatest  dispatch." 

After  completing  his  work  in  the  ground  school,  he  was  sent  to 
Grantham  for  training  in  gunnery.  From  Grantham  he  was  sent  to 
Waddington  for  finishing,  preparatory  to  going  across  the  Channel  and 
into  active  service.  It  was  here  that  he  made  his  last  flight  on  January 
7,  1918.  His  machine  was  completely  wrecked,  killing  him  instantly. 
As  he  had  always  shown  great  skill  in  driving  his  ship,  the  real  cause  of 
the  catastrophe  which  brought  his  untimely  death  still  remains  a  mystery 
which  has  not  been  solved  by  those  in  charge  of  the  field  at  Waddington. 
He  was  buried  with  military  honors  in  New  Port  Cemetery,  at  Lincoln, 
England. 

Thus  was  cut  short  a  most  promising  career.  Joseph  H.  Sharpe 
possessed  the  qualities  of  a  true  and  brave  soldier.  His  captain  at 
Waddington  wrote  of  him:  "He  was  one  of  the  keenest  pupils  that  I 
have  ever  instructed.  He  had  rare  skill  combined  with  modesty  and 
did  not  know  the  meaning  of  the  word  fear.  His  loss  was  a  terrible 
one." 


[68] 


PENN  SISK 

Penn  Sisk,  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  S.  D.  Sisk,  of  Amory,  Mississippi, 
was  born  on  April  18,  1896,  in  Monroe  County,  near  Amory.  His 
early  education  was  obtained  in  the  public  schools  of  Monroe  County 
and  the  Amory  High  School.  In  September,  1917,  he  entered  the  A. 
and  M.  College,  electing  the  agricultural  course.  His  interest  in  his 
work  was  very  pronounced  and  of  the  very  best  quality.  In  connection 
with  his  studies  he  was  detailed  to  assist  in  the  cotton  breeding  experi- 
ments which  were  being  conducted  at  the  Delta  Branch  Experiment 
Station  in  1917. 

During  the  fall  of  1917  Penn  enlisted  in  the  Navy  at  Jackson,  and 
was  sent  to  the  Training  Station  at  Norfolk,  Virginia.  At  this  station 
he  received  his  naval  training  and  was  transferred  to  the  naval  operating 
base,  Hampton  Roads,  Virginia.  Here  he  contracted  cerebro-spinal 
fever  (meningitis),  which,  after  two  weeks,  claimed  his  life  on  February 
27,  1918. 

When  a  mere  youth  Penn  became  a  Christian  and  joined  the  Method- 
ist Episcopal  Church,  South.  His  love  for  the  truth  was  very  pro- 
nounced. No  nobler  sacrifice  was  claimed  by  the  war  than  Penn  Sisk. 
He  possessed  a  rare  combination  of  qualities  that  promised  certain 
success.  His  character  was  true  to  the  highest  ideals  of  life,  and  the 
purity  of  his  life  and  the  excellent  influence  he  exerted  over  his  fellow 
students  will  always  be  pleasant  in  the  memory  of  his  numerous  friends 
and  relatives. 

His  father  and  mother,  two  sisters,  and  two  brothers  are  left  to  mourn 
his  loss.

GEORGE  DEWEY  SUGDEN 

George  Dewey  Sugden  was  born  at  Long  Beach,  Harrison  County, 
Mississippi,  on  June  14,  1898. 

One  of  a  family  of  seven,  four  boys  and  three  girls,  he  was  raised  on 
a  farm  and  attended  the  public  school  at  Long  Beach,  until  the  death  of 
both  parents  within  fifteen  months  of  each  other.  Always  of  a  cheerful 
disposition,  he  labored  under  the  disadvantage  of  losing  his  parental 
guidance,  and  proved  his  sterling  character  by  his  work  and  study  while 
attending  the  Agricultural  High  School  at  Perkinston,  Mississippi, 
where  he  endeared  himself  both  to  his  fellow  students  and  teachers.  He 
had  pursued  his  course  through  the  Agricultural  High  School,  antici- 
pating entering  A.  and  M.  College.  Accordingly,  in  September,  1918, 
he  matriculated  in  the  College  and  was  inducted  into  the  Students' 
Army  Training  Corps  at  A.  and  M.  During  the  epidemic  he  became  a 
victim  of  pneumonia,  and  died  October  14,  1918.  He  was  buried  at 
Long  Beach,  where  his  parents  also  rest.  He  is  survived  by  three 
brothers  and  three  sisters. 

He  was  one  of  the  young  men  our  country  could  ill  afford  to  lose, 
and  his  memory  will  be  fondly  cherished  by  his  relatives  and  many 
friends,  as  one  of  those  stars  that  shine  through  the  clouds  and  help 
us  on  our  journey  not  yet  ended.

WILLIAM  WAVERLY  SWEARENGEN 

William  Waverly  Swearengen  was  born  at  Tillatoba,  Missis- 
sippi, on  March  1 ,  1 898.  His  early  education  was  received  in  the  public 
schools  of  Tillatoba  and  the  Panola  County  Agricultural  High  School, 
at  Courtland.  During  the  summer  vacations  William  engaged  in  farm- 
ing, and  through  his  practical  knowledge  of  agriculture,  he  was  enabled 
to  produce  fine  crops  and  earn  money  enough  to  pay  his  school  expenses 
during  the  winter. 

After  graduating  from  the  Panola  County  Agricultural  High  School, 
he  became  connected  with  the  firm  of  William  Rick  &  Company, 
Paducah,  Kentucky.  His  services  with  this  company  terminated 
when  he  volunteered  his  services  to  his  country  in  September,  1918. 
Having  been  inducted  into  the  Students'  Army  Training  Corps  at 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  he  entered  enthusiastically  upon 
his  military  training  which  was  to  fit  him  for  service  "over  there." 

Shortly  after  entering  the  college  he  fell  a  victim  to  the  influenza, 
which  very  soon  developed  into  pneumonia,  finally  claiming  his  life  on 
October  9,  1918.     He  was  buried  in  the  Batesville  cemetery. 

William  Waverly  Swearengen  was  a  true  American  gentleman, 
devoted  to  his  friends,  whom  he  counted  by  the  score,  social  and  friendly 
in  disposition,  and  manly  in  character.  He  was  an  active  member  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church.  Besides  a  host  of  friends,  his  parents,  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Joseph  N.  Swearengen,  of  Tillatoba,  and  two  sisters  are  left 
to  mourn  his  loss.

CALEB  WHITE  TAYLOR,  JR. 

Caleb  White  Taylor,  Jr.,  son  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  C.  W.  Taylor,  of  Pela- 
hatchie,  Mississippi,  was  born  January 
29,  1 896,  and  died  in  action  on  the  Belgian 
Front  on  the  226.  of  October,  1918.  His 
early  education  was  obtained  in  the  Pela- 
hatchie  schools.  From  the  high  school 
he  graduated  with  honors.  In  the  fall  of 
1913  he  entered  Mississippi  A.  and  M. 
College,  pursuing  the  course  in  electrical 
engineering.  In  June,  1917,  he  was  grad- 
uated and  at  once  entered  upon  a  post- 
graduate course  with  the  General  Electric 
Company,  of  Schenectady,  New  York. 

Soon  after  the  outbreak  of  the  war,  C.  W.  volunteered  as  Quarter- 
master in  Aviation,  at  Albany,  New  York.  He  was  sent  to  the  aero- 
nautical school  at  Pensacola,  Florida,  whence  later  he  was  sent  to 
Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology  for  training  in  navigation.  He 
passed  in  this  work  with  highest  grades  and  was  commissioned  an 
Ensign  in  the  Officers'  Reserves.  He  then  returned  to  Pensacola  for 
training  in  flying  sea  planes.  Learning  that  this  branch  of  the  service 
would  probably  not  afford  him  a  chance  to  go  "over  there,"  he  asked 
to  be  transferred  to  the  Marines.  With  them,  he  went  to  Miami  for 
further  training.  Receiving  his  commission  as  Second  Lieutenant,  he 
went  overseas  in  July,  1918,  for  active  duty,  which  he  was  faithfully 
performing  at  the  time  of  his  untimely  death. 

Lieutenant  Taylor  was  an  observer  and  bomber  for  Pilot  Lieutenant 
Harvey  B.  Norman,  of  Davenport,  Iowa.  Their  plane  was  the  "D-1 1" 
of  the  Day  Bombing  Wing,  North  Bombing  Group,  and  these  two 
officers  had  operated  together  for  three  months,  making  one  successful 
raid  after  another,  displaying  pluck,  daring,  and  great  courage.  On 
October  22,  1918,  with  their  formation  of  nine  airplanes,  they  had 
been  over  their  objective  and  had  bombed  it  with  great  success.  In 
returning  to  their  aerodrome,  the  formation  was  compelled  to  pass 
through  thick  formations  of  fog.  Lieutenant  Norman's  airplane 
became  separated  from  the  formation  and  lost  sight  of  it. 

Just  over  the  little  tillage  of  Aeltre,  Belgium,  about  23  kilometers 
from  Bruges,  on  the  Bruges-Ghent  canal,  this  lone  plane  was  attacked 
by  seven  Hun  planes.  Belgians,  who  witnessed  the  fight  in  the  air, 
report  that  the  Americans  displayed  great  skill  and  courage,  but  that 

[721 


they  were  hopelessly  outnumbered   by   the  seven  enemy   planes,   who 
attacked  them  viciously  and  brought  them  down. 

Belgian  soldiers  started  toward  the  fallen  plane  to  give  what  aid 
they  could.  Seeing  this,  the  seven  Hun  planes  descended  to  an  altitude 
of  one  hundred  feet  above  their  victims,  and  describing  circles  above 
them,  riddled  and  splintered  the  fallen  plane  with  machine  gun  bullets, 
effectively  detaining  the  Belgians.  When  the  enemy  planes  withdrew, 
the  Belgian  soldiers  recovered  the  bodies  of  the  two  Marine  officers 
and  gave  them  a  fitting  burial  in  the  cemetery  at  Aeltre,  Belgium.

TOM  LELAND  THOMAS 


Mr.  Thomas  was  born  in  Carroll 
County,  Mississippi,  on  the  16th  day  of 
September,  1897.  His  educational  train- 
ing was  received  in  the  Vaiden  High 
School,  from  which  he  graduated  in 
May,  1918. 

Like  many  of  the  patriotic  young 
men  of  this  State,  Mr.  Thomas  was 
anxious  to  get  into  the  war  for  democracy 
against  the  cruel  and  despotic  Huns. 
His  great  ambition  to  enter  the  struggle 
at  an  earlier  date  was  given  up  until  he 
was  graduated  from  high  school,  for  he 
firmly  believed  that  the  training  in  high 
school  that  he  was  receiving  would  add  to  his  efficiency  as  a  soldier. 

A  few  months  after  his  graduation  from  high  school  the  opportunity 
to  enter  the  service  of  his  country  presented  itself,  and  he  joined  the 
army.  About  the  26th  of  September  he  was  sent  to  A.  and  M.  College 
of  his  native  State  for  special  vocational  training.  But  before  he  had 
been  there  many  days  the  Spanish  influenza,  which  was  exacting  such 
heavy  toll  all  over  the  country  from  the  army,  broke  out  in  a  violent 
form  and  soon  he  contracted  it.  In  spite  of  all  that  the  physicians 
could  do  for  him,  Mr.  Thomas  soon  developed  pneumonia,  and  on 
October  7,  1918,  died. 

Though  whatever  ambition  this  young  man  had  to  serve  his  country 
over  there  was  cut  short,  yet  he  richly  deserved  a  place  in  the  hearts 
of  his  countrymen  with  those  who  fell  behind  the  guns.  It  was  no  lack 
of  bravery  or  patriotism  on  his  part  that  caused  him  to  die  on  this  side 
of  the  ocean  rather  than  on  the  other  side  engaged  in  some  spectacular 
or  decisive  event.  His  desire  to  serve  his  country  unselfishly  was  equal 
to  that  of  the  boys  who  sleep  in  Flanders  Field.

ASA  DEWEY  WALKER 


Dewey  Walker  was  born  at  Pinola, 
Simpson  County,  Mississippi,  November 
13,  1898.  He  died  of  pneumonia,  fol- 
lowing influenza,  on  October  5,  1918, 
while  a  member  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C.  at 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College. 

Early  in  life  Dewey,  with  his  parents, 
moved  to  Mount  Olive,  Mississippi, 
where  he  received  his  elementary  educa- 
tion and  training.  At  the  age  of  thirteen 
Dewey  was  converted  and  joined  the 
Baptist  Church  of  Mount  Olive.  From 
that  day  until  his  death  he  lived  a  clean, 
unstained    life.     Manly    in    appearance, 

genial  in  disposition,   and  happy  by  nature,   with  his  combination  of 

Christian  graces,   he  was  always  welcome,   always  helpful,   and  loved 

by  all. 

Wrapped  in  one  of  Uncle  Sam's  most  beautiful  flags,  Dewey  Walker 

was  laid  to  rest  in  the  cemetery  at  Mount  Olive,  Mississippi. 

His  father  and  mother,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  James  Willis  Walker,  of  Mount 

Olive,  five  sisters,  and  two  brothers  are  left  to  mourn  his  loss.

WILLIAM  JOHN  WEISSENGER 


William  John  Weissenger  was  born 
at  Shaw,  Mississippi,  May  20,  1890.  He 
attended  the  public  schools  of  Hernando 
in  early  life  and  later  he  was  a  student 
for  two  sessions  in  Randal  University  of 
that  town.  During  the  sessions  of  1908- 
1909  and  1909-1910  he  was  a  student  in 
the  engineering  school  of  the  A.  and  M. 
College. 

After  leaving  school  Mr.  Weissenger 
became  a  newspaper  reporter.  In  this 
work  he  won  an  enviable  reputation, 
having  served  on  the  staff  of  such  papers  as 
the  Commercial  Appeal  and  the  Chicago 
Examiner,  and  on  papers  of  Toledo  and  New  York.  Just  before  the 
hostilities  broke  out  between  the  United  States  and  Germany  he  was 
appointed  on  the  staff  of  the  International  News  Service.  Though 
he  was  the  youngest  special  writer  connected  with  official  Washington, 
he  was  assigned  the  duty  of  covering  the  German  embassy,  and  his 
articles  covering  the  intrigue  of  Bernstorff  and  Von  Papen  will  long 
be  remembered  by  newspaper  readers  of  the  country. 

Soon  after  the  declaration  of  war  with  Germany  Mr.  Weissenger 
entered  the  Officers'  Training  Camp  at  Fort  Meyers.  He  graduated 
from  that  camp  and  was  assigned  to  a  cavalry  unit  in  Texas,  with  a 
commission  of  First  Lieutenant.  So  anxious  was  he  to  get  to  the 
front  that  when  it  was  rumored  that  Uncle  Sam  would  send  no  cavalry 
to  Europe,  Mr.  Weissenger  immediately  applied  for  a  transfer  to  the 
aviation  section.  After  some  time  he  was  allowed  to  become  an  appli- 
cant for  a  flying  commission.  Then  he  readily  gave  up  the  Lieutenant 
bars  and  began  to  strive  for  an  officership  in  that  section  that  would 
enable  him  earlier  to  see  active  service. 

He  did  his  ground  school  work  in  the  aviation  section  at  Princeton 
University,  and  was  then  ordered  to  Park  Field  to  finish  up  his  training 
before  going  to  France.  He  lacked  only  three  more  hours  in  the  air 
before  he  would  have  been  commissioned  for  overseas  duty,  when  the 
airplane  he  was  in  collided  with  another  one,  and  he  fell  to  his  death, 
July  26,  1918. 

Mr.  Weissenger  is  survived  by  his  father  and  mother,  six  brothers, 
and  one  sister.

WILLIAM  ALEXANDER  WHITE 


William  Alexander  White  was 
born  in  West  Point,  Mississippi,  De- 
cember 5,  1895.  His  early  education 
was  received  in  the  public  schools  of  his 
native  town.  He  then  was  a  student  for 
two  sessions  at  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M. 
College.  Upon  leaving  the  college,  he 
became  an  employee  of  the  Electric 
Supply  Company,  of  Memphis,  Tennes- 
see. While  in  the  employ  of  this  com- 
pany his  high  merit  and  faithful  service 
soon  won  for  him  promotion  to  the  Chief 
of  the  City  Sales  Department. 

A  few  months  after  the  United  States 
entered  the  war  against  Germany,  Mr.  White  volunteered  his  services 
and  was  assigned  to  the  Signal  Corps,  being  sent  to  Charleston,  South 
Carolina,  for  training.  He  entered  the  army  to  give  the  best  that  was 
in  him,  and  he  thought  that  his  services  would  count  more  as  an  aerial 
observer  than  in  any  other  field  of  work.  In  accordance  with  his 
wishes,  he  was  soon  sent  to  the  University  of  Texas  to  train  as  a  cadet 
for  a  commission  in  this  field  of  work. 

After  completing  the  theoretical  work  at  the  University  of  Texas, 
he  was  sent  to  Fort  Sill,  Oklahoma,  for  practical  flying  and  observation. 
Very  soon  he  was  commissioned  Second  Lieutenant  and  transferred  to 
Camp  Dix,  Dallas,  Texas,  as  instructor  in  radio  work. 

From  Dallas,  Texas,  he  was  transferred  to  Self  ridge  Field,  Mt. 
Clemens,  Michigan,  where  he  was  given  special  training  in  aerial  gunning 
and  photography.  His  great  ambition  was  realized  when  he  was 
ordered  overseas,  sailing  from  Hoboken,  New  Jersey,  on  July  14.  In 
France  he  was  rapidly  prepared  for  service  on  the  firing  line,  being 
given  intensive  training  in  the  camps. 

Early  in  November  he  received  orders  to  go  to  the  front.  On  the 
I  Oth  of  that  month,  while  there  was  a  heavy  fog  he  and  Lieutenant 
M.  Birch  went  over  the  enemy  lines,  and  were  killed  by  the  enemy. 
Sometime  thereafter  his  body  was  found  by  the  Americans  at  Ion-sur- 
Meuse,  and  carried  behind  the  lines  for  burial. 

Mr.  White's  mother,  who  is  a  daughter  of  Judge  Bates,  of  Houston, 
now  lives  in  Memphis,  Tennessee.

JOHN  RAY  WHITESIDE 


John  Ray  Whiteside,  son  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  John  C.  Whiteside,  of  Okolona, 
Mississippi,  was  born  on  June  13,  1896. 

His  early  education  was  received  at 
the  public  school  of  Okolona.  He  entered 
the  sophomore  class  in  engineering  at 
Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College,  in  the 
fall  of  1915.  He  continued  in  college  for 
only  a  part  of  the  year  1915-16. 

When  the  war  opened,  he  joined  the 
Marines,  and  was  assigned  to  the  aviation 
section.  He  was  given  the  commission 
of  Second  Lieutenant,  U.  S.  M.  C.  R.  F., 
and  went  overseas  in  the  summer  of  1918. 
He  saw  service  at  the  front  for  some  time,  just  prior  to  the  signing  of 
the  armistice.  He  was  pilot  of  bombing  plane  D-8,  taking  part  in 
several  raids  in  the  victory  of  Ghent  and  Lokren,  Belgium. 

After  the  close  of  the  war,  Lieutenant  Whiteside  returned  to  the 
United  States,  being  stationed  at  St.  Petersburg,  Florida,  where  he 
lost  his  life  in  an  airplane  accident,  on  January  23,  1919. 

His  parents,  a  brother  and  three  sisters  reside  in  Okolona.

PERCY  MABRAY  WILLI  FORD 


Percy  Mabray  Williford,  son  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  V.  Williford,  was 
born  near  Carrollton,  Mississippi,  Febru- 
ary 14,  1891.  He  spent  the  greater  part 
of  his  early  life  at  Carrollton,  where  he 
received  his  elementary  education.  In 
September,  1 907,  he  entered  the  freshman 
class  at  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  Col- 
lege. Unfortunately  he  was  privileged 
to  receive  only  one  year  of  college  training. 
In  1912  Mr.  Williford  enlisted  in  the 
navy  at  Vicksburg,  Mississippi,  aboard 
the  U.  S.  S.  Nebraska.  Later  he  was 
transferred  to  the  U.  S.  S.  Birmingham 
and  participated  in  the  taking  of  Vera  Cruz,  Mexico.  In  1915  he  was 
transferred  to  the  U.  S.  S.  North  Carolina.  On  this  ship  he  circled 
the  globe,  touching  practically  all  of  the  important  ports  of  the  world. 
After  serving  one  enlistment  of  four  years  Mr.  Williford  re-enlisted  and 
was  faithfully  serving  his  country  when  an  acute  attack  of  pleurisy 
claimed  his  life,  while  his  ship  lay  at  anchor  at  Portsmouth,  Virginia, 
May  29,  1917.  His  body  was  sent  home  for  burial  and  now  rests  in 
the  cemetery  at  Carrollton. 

Mr.  Williford  was  one  in  whom  his  friends  could  confide  without 
fear  of  disappointment.  His  very  presence  meant  sunshine  and  good 
cheer  to  his  ship-mates.  He  was  very  original  as  is  evidenced  by  his 
popularity  with  all  the  ship's  crew.  Physically  he  was  near  perfect  and 
very  powerful. 

Only  distant  relatives  survive  him,  but  with  these  the  A.  and  M. 
College  regret  the  cutting  short  of  a  life  that  offered  such  a  prospective 
for  useful  service. 


[79] 


JOHN  LEMUEL  WINDHAM 


John  L.  Windham  was  the  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  R.  E.  Windham,  of  Homewood, 
Mississippi.  He  was  born  and  reared  at 
Homewood.  He  attended  public  school 
there  and  at  Mize,  Mississippi,  until 
1914,  when  he  entered  the  freshman  class 
in  the  school  of  agriculture  at  the  Missis- 
sippi A.  and  M.  College.  He  remained 
at  A.  and  M.  two  years,  making  a  great 
number  of  friends  among  the  students 
and  faculty.  Shortly  after  war  was 
declared,  John  L.  entered  the  military 
service  of  Uncle  Sam,  and  after  success- 
fully completing  his  training  was  sent  to 
France  as  a  member  of  the  116th  Infantry.  This  regiment  took  part 
in  several  severe  drives  and  from  each  John  L.  came  out  cheerful  and 
smiling.  But  on  the  morning  of  October  15,  1918,  the  116th  Infantry, 
in  its  attempt  to  go  over  the  top  was  met  with  such  fierce  machine 
gun  fire  that  several  of  its  members  were  added  to  its  list  of  casuals, 
John  L.  Windham  being  among  those  who  died  a  hero's  death  with 
his  face  to  the  foe.  Death  was  instantaneous.  He  was  buried  near 
where  he  fell  in  the  Bois  de  Causenvoye,  about  24  kilometres  north  of 
Verdun,  east  of  the  Meuse. 

Mr.  Windham  was  a  very  bright  and  industrious  young  man,  pos- 
sessing an  attractive  personality  and  an  unselfish  heart.  The  excel- 
lent influence  he  exerted  over  his  fellow  associates  will  always  be  pleasant 
in  the  memory  of  his  numerous  friends  and  relatives. 

His  father  and  mother,  seven  sisters,  and  two  brothers  are  left  to 
mourn  his  loss.

A.  and  M.  Service  Register 

A.  and  M.  presents  herewith  a  list  of  her  graduates,  undergraduates, 
and  former  students  who  served  with  the  colors  during  the  recent  World 
War.  It  is  an  honor  roll  unique  in  the  history  of  the  institution.  An- 
nually various  groups  of  students  are  announced,  comprising  those 
distinguished  for  athletic  prowess,  for  scholarship,  or  for  other  achieve- 
ments lauded  in  the  academic  world;  but  this  record  is  for  those  who 
in  the  great  World  War  earned  the  distinction  of  having  served  their 
country  for  a  mighty  cause. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  list  is  incomplete.  The  omissions, 
however,  are  unintentional  and  may  be  attributed  to  the  difficulty  of 
compiling  in  their  entirety  the  service  records  of  thousands  of  former 
students. 

Those  students  whose  names  are  marked  *  died  while  in  the  service.

The  Brave  at  Home 

The  maid  who  binds  her  warrior's  sash 

With  smile  that  well  her  pain  dissembles, 
The  while  beneath  her  drooping  lash 

On  starry  tear-drop  hangs  and  trembles, 
Though  Heaven  alone  record  the  tear, 

And  Fame  shall  never  know  her  story, 
Her  heart  has  shed  a  drop  as  dear 

As  e'er  bedewed  the  field  of  glory! 

The  wife  who  girds  her  husband's  sword, 

Mid  little  ones  who  weep  and  wonder, 
And  bravely  speaks  the  cheering  word, 

What  though  her  heart  be  rent  asunder, 
Doomed  nightly  in  her  dreams  to  hear 

The  bolts  of  death  around  him  rattle, 
Hath  shed  as  sacred  blood  as  e'er 

Was  poured  upon  the  field  of  battle! 

The  mother  who  conceals  her  grief 

While  to  her  breast  her  son  she  presses, 
Then  breathes  a  few  brave  words  and  brief, 

Kissing  the  patriot  brow  she  blesses, 
With  no  one  but  her  secret  God 

To  know  the  pain  that  weighs  upon  her 
Sheds  holy  blood  as  e'er  the  sod 

Received  on  Freedom's  field  of  honor! 

— Thomas  Buchanan  Reed.

Our  Disabled  World  War  Veterans 


aNDER  the  general  supervision  of  the  Federal  Board  for  Vocational 
Education  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  is  giving  resident 
instruction  to  423  wounded  veterans  of  the  World  War.  The  primary 
purpose  of  this  instruction  is  to  make  the  men  self-reliant  and  self- 
sustaining  in  an  economic  sense.  Naturally  then  emphasis  is  laid  on 
skill  along  practical  lines.  At  the  same  time,  however,  academic  in- 
struction is  not  sacrificed;  the  men  have  access  to  the  entire  educational 
equipment  of  the  College,  which  of  course,  offers  abundant  opportuni- 
ties. 

On  the  following  roll  is  recorded  the  name  of  each  soldier  whose 
wounds  or  other  disabilities  incurred  in  line  of  duty  constitute  real 
vocational  handicaps.     All  are  enrolled  students  at  A.  and  M. 


Indicates  that  the  soldier  was  cited  for  bravery  in  action.

The  State  Council  of  Defense 

i^\HE  operating  base  of  the  Mississippi  State  Council  of  Defense 
^^y  from  April,  1917,  to  January,  1919,  was  at  the  Agricultural  and 
Mechanical  College.  Under  the  guidance  of  President  W.  H.  Smith, 
Active  Vice-Chairman ,  and  Professor  H.  0.  Pate,  Executive  Secretary, 
the  various  State  and  county  committees,  composed  of  representatives 
of  various  interests  of  the  State,  perfected  in  each  county  of  the  State 
a  County  Council  of  Defense  composed  of  the  following  national  war 
agencies:  Speakers'  Bureau,  Four-Minute  Men,  Food  Administration, 
Fuel  Administration,  War  Savings  Stamps,  Liberty  Bonds,  Red  Cross, 
Federal  Public  Service  Reserve,  Boys'  Working  Reserve,  Shipbuilding 
Committee,  County  Superintendents  of  Education,  County  Farm 
Demonstrators,  Home  Economics  Agents,  Woman's  Committee  of  the 
Council  of  National  Defense,  County  Health  Officers,  The  War  Benevo- 
lence Committee,  and  such  other  agencies  as  the  County  War  Con- 
ference recommended.  On  account  of  the  lack  of  funds  to  defray  ex- 
penses the  business  of  the  State  Council  was  carried  forward  by  the 
clerical  force  of  the  Service  Bureau  of  the  College. 

Serving  as  members  of  the  foregoing  National  War  Agencies,  over 
one  hundred  and  fifty  graduates,  former  students,  and  faculty  members 
of  the  A.  and  M.  College  rendered  valuable  service  to  the  Government.

The  Work  of  the  Experiment  Station 

[0  far  as  possible  without  materially  interfering  with  some  of  the 
more  important  experiments  under  way,  the  Experiment  Station  at- 
tempted a  number  of  short-time  projects  to  obtain  information  that 
would  be  valuable  in  the  economic  production  of  food  and  feedstuffs. 
Some  of  these  were  investigations  of  the  value  of  different  "waste 
crops"  for  emergency  cow  feeds,  of  garbage  for  hogs,  of  the  utilization 
of  the  various  waste  materials  for  composts,  of  grazing  hogs  on  different 
crops,  and  of  grazing  steers  in  corn  and  velvet  bean  fields  after  the 
grain  has  been  gathered.  The  results  from  these  projects  were  given  out 
through  the  press  and  in  bulletins.  In  addition  to  this  a  great  deal  of 
information  on  other  subjects,  the  result  of  which  had  not  been  pub- 
lished, was  sent  out. 


[137] 


The  Extension  Force 


i|4lTHIN  five  days  after  the  declaration  of  war,  the  Agricultural 
Vly  Extension  Service  of  the  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical 
College  had  compiled  and  submitted  to  the  Federal  Government  a  con- 
fidential report  on  the  agricultural  resources  and  possibilities  of  the 
State  of  Mississippi.  From  this  time  on  throughout  the  war  the 
Extension  Service  was  active  in  cooperating  with  the  governmental 
plans  and  was  instrumental  in  the  greater  production  and  wiser  con- 
servation of  the  food  that  has  been,  and  is  now,  feeding  the  world. 

The  Mississippi  Extension  Department  was  thoroughly  organized 
before  the  war  cloud  appeared.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  extension  work 
in  the  State  antedates  federal  extension  by  about  five  years.  At  the 
outbreak  of  the  war,  however,  the  coordination  between  Government 
and  State  forces  was  complete  and  a  large,  systematic  force  in  the 
field.  The  personnel  included  the  director,  two  assistant  directors, 
nine  district  directors,  field  specialists  in  every  phase  of  modern  agri- 
culture, including  specialists  in  the  club  work  among  boys  and  girls, 
county  agricultural  agents  and  home  economics  agents  in  practically 
every  county,  twelve  emergency  agents,  and  thirty  negro  agents  de- 
voting their  time  to  work  among  their  own  race — a  total  force  of  over 
two  hundred  skilled  workers.  When  the  national  "fall  in"  sounded, 
this  corps  went  assiduously  about  the  task  of  furnishing  food  for  the 
nation's  fighters. 

That  the  extension  activity  in  this  State  was  of  vast  importance  in 
supplying  this  food  for  the  fighting  and  the  civilian  armies  may  be 
ascertained  from  a  hurried  survey  of  some  of  the  major  lines  of  effort, 
including  the  following  fields:  Crop  production,  home  food  production 
and  preservation,  live  stock  projects,  insect  pest  and  plant  disease 
control,  club  work  among  boys  and  girls,  field  instruction  and  publica- 
tions.    A  few  words  concerning  each  topic  may  be  of  interest. 

Crop  Production:  By  increased  planting  and  by  better  methods  of 
cultivation  and  management,  the  crop  production  of  Mississippi  in- 
creased during  the  war  period  by  leaps  and  bounds.  Under  the  efficient 
direction  of  the  extension  force,  idle  lands  were  converted  into  luxuriant 
fields;  and  a  comparison  between  the  crop  reports  for  the  two  years  of 
the  war  and  between  the  figures  for  the  year  immediately  preceding  the 
war  reveals  a  satisfactory  growth  in  the  production  of  essential  crops. 

Home  Food  Production  and  Preservation:  Increased  gardening  in 
Mississippi,  followed  by  the  careful  preservation  of  the  products,  under 

[138] 


the  direction  of  the  home  economics  extension  agents,  filled  many 
pantries  with  vegetables  which  would  have  otherwise  been  lacking. 
Instruction  in  the  home  curing  of  meats  and  the  conservation  of  sweets 
liberated  a  great  amount  of  food  for  military  purposes.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  honey  production  in  Mississippi  increased  three-fold  during 
the  war. 

Livestock  Projects:  Growing  and  feeding  livestock  has  been  making 
rapid  progress  in  Mississippi  for  several  years,  but  in  1917  it  moved 
forward  with  new  vigor  and  enthusiasm.  Dairy  herds  made  notable 
improvements  in  both  quantity  and  quality,  while  hogs  and  beef  cattle 
were  put  on  the  market  in  numbers  before  unheard  of  in  this  or  any 
other  State.  To  accomplish  these  feats,  it  was  necessary  to  produce 
and  to  store  feed  for  the  livestock.  The  extension  force,  therefore,  was 
active  in  having  erected  in  the  State  a  large  number  of  silos  and  hay 
lofts.  Practically  all  of  the  livestock  marketed  from  this  State  was 
handled  by  the  county  agents. 

Control  of  Insect  Pests  and  Plant  Diseases:  Under  the  supervision 
of  the  extension  workers  the  farmers  of  the  State  were  able  to  prevent 
the  usual  loss  of  one-tenth  incurred  from  the  damages  of  insect  pests 
and  diseases  of  plants  and  animals. 

Club  Worl^  Among  Boys  and  Girls:  Although  the  club  work  done 
by  boys  and  girls  has  been  for  many  years  at  its  best  in  Mississippi, 
when  the  crisis  came  a  special  stress  was  laid  upon  food  production. 
Among  the  organizations  of  the  young  people  which  were  maintained 
with  great  success  during  the  war  period  are  the  corn  clubs,  pig  clubs, 
tomato  clubs,  poultry  clubs,  livestock  clubs,  gardening  clubs,  and 
many  others.  These  clubs  are  still  in  operation  and  will  continue  their 
work  under  the  direction  of  the  extension  force. 

Field  Instruction:  Field  instruction  was  given  by  the  members  of 
the  extension  corps  at  every  opportunity.  Meetings  held  for  this 
purpose  were  well  attended;  and  every  demonstration  was  one  of 
practical  value  to  the  farmers  or  their  families.  More  than  50,000 
demonstrations  in  some  phase  of  agriculture  or  home  economics  were 
given  in  Mississippi  during  the  war  period. 

Publications:  From  time  to  time  the  extension  service  published 
and  sent  free  to  the  residents  of  this  State  press  circulars,  letters,  and 
bulletins,  all  of  which  contained  timely  information  relative  to  the 
advancement  of  agriculture,  from  the  standpoint  of  producing  and  of 
marketing.  These  publications  were  offered  to  the  newspapers  of  the 
State,  by  which  method  the  department  carried  its  message  into  virtually 
every  home  of  Mississippi. 

[139] 


"Stay  in  School" 


OURING  the  early  days  of  the  war  there  were  college  authorities 
throughout  the  land  who  seemed  to  have  been  in  doubt  as  to 
just  what  course  would  be  best  for  the  educational  institutions  to 
follow.  A  careful  survey  of  the  situation  in  Europe  was  sufficient  to 
indicate  very  conclusively  the  wisdom  of  maintaining  the  activities  of 
the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  with  the  utmost  vigor,  of  course, 
readjusting  things  to  meet  war  emergency. 

A  few  quotations  from  the  lips  of  those  who  were  in  a  position  to 
see,  hear,  and  know  the  importance  of  education  in  war  may  assist  in 
clearing  the  minds  of  those  who  felt  awkward  in  school  while  many  of 
their  fellowmen  were  billeted  in  dug-outs  "somewhere  in  France." 
These  statements  were  made  after  war  was  declared. 

President  Woodrow  Wilson  said:  "There  will  be  need  for  a  larger 
number  of  persons  expert  in  the  various  fields  of  applied  science  than 
ever  before.  Such  persons  will  be  needed  both  during  the  war  and 
after  its  close.  I  would  particularly  urge  upon  the  young  people  who 
are  leaving  the  high  schools  that  as  many  of  them  as  can  do  so  avail 
themselves  of  the  opportunities  offered  by  the  colleges  and  technical 
schools,  to  the  end  that  the  country  may  not  lack  an  adequate  supply  of 
trained  men  and  women." 

Major-General  Leonard  Wood  said:  "Boys  should  remember  that 
they  are  now  serving  in  the  best  possible  way  by  preparing  themselves 

to  serve  more  efficiently  when  the  time  comes It  is  a  great 

mistake  for  partly  educated  young  boys  to  rush  to  the  colors  now.  We 
don't  need  them.  It  is  very  important  that  they  should  finish  their  edu- 
cation." 

Hon.  Newton  D.  Baker,  Secretary  of  War,  said:  "The  War  De- 
partment is  especially  anxious  not  to  disturb  unduly  the  educational 

systems  of  the  country I  think  we  ought  all  to  adopt  as  the  daily 

maxim  of  our  talk  and  our  activity  that  the  country  shall  make  every 
sacrifice  necessary  to  bring  our  force  to  bear  in  the  most  effective  way, 
but  that  we  ought  to  preserve  the  country  for  the  common  good  against 
every  unnecessary  dislocation  and  against  every  unnecessary  abridge- 
ment of  the  processes  of  our  common  life. 

"I  think  you  ought  to  have  as  an  especial  object  the  urgent  invi- 
tation to  young  men  of  America  to  come  into  your  technical  schools  and 
devote  themselves  to  engineering  branches  of  education;    so  that  when 

[140] 


this  war  is  over  the  struggle  will  not  have  been  in  vain;  so  that  young 
men  can  quickly  and  efficiently  play  a  part  in  that  reconstruction. " 

Hon.  P.  P.  Claxton,  United  States  Commissioner  of  Education,  said: 
"The  demand  for  engineers  will  be  greater  after  the  war  than  ever  before 
in  the  history  of  the  world.  Engineering  students  should  stay  at  their 
posts  and  not  go  into  active  service  at  the  front  until  after  they  graduate. 
We  shall  be  very  foolish  if  we  do  not  keep  our  engineering  institutions, 
at  least,  up  to  the  highest  efficiency." 

Colonel  S.  E.  Tillman,  Superintendent  West  Point  Military  Academy, 
said:  "Only  the  most  urgent  conditions  should  withdraw  any  boy 
from  school.  In  justice  to  the  Government  as  well  as  themselves,  they 
should  finish  their  courses." 

Under  the  date  of  May  22,  1917,  there  was  sent  out  from  the  office 
of  the  Commissioner  of  Education,  Washington,  D.  C,  a  circular  letter 
in  which  Commissioner  Claxton  said: 

"England,  France,  Italy,  and  the  Central  Empires  have  thrown  into 
battle  a  very  large  per  cent  of  their  educated  and  trained  men,  in- 
cluding most  of  the  young  professors  and  instructors  in  their  uni- 
versities, colleges,  gymnasia,  lycees,  and  public  schools.  Their  colleges 
and  universities  are  almost  empty. 

"A  right  conception  of  patriotism  should  induce  all  students  who 
cannot  render  some  immediate  service  of  great  value  to  remain  in 
college,  concentrate  their  energies  on  their  college  work,  and  thus  be 
all  the  more  ready  and  fit  when  their  services  may  be  needed,  either  for 
war  or  for  the  important  work  of  reconstruction  and  development  in 
our  own  and  other  countries  when  the  war  shall  have  ended. 

"No  college,  university,  or  technical  school  that  can  avoid  it  should 
permit  its  faculty  or  student  body  to  be  scattered  or  its  energy  to  be 
dissipated.  All  should  redouble  their  energies  and  concentrate  them 
upon  these  things  which  will  prepare  their  students  for  the  most  effective 
service  for  their  country  and  for  the  world  when  the  war  is  over. 

"The  desire  to  render  immediate  service  is  praiseworthy,  and  the 
spirit  which  prompts  it  should  be  fostered,  but  it  is  effective  service 
that  finally  counts.  Schools  and  school  officers,  teachers  and  students 
should  ever  keep  this  goal  of  effective  service  in  mind." 


[141] 


Changes  in  Curriculum 

GROIN/I  the  very  first  it  was  seen  that  the  curricula  of  the  colleges 
and  universities  of  the  land  would  have  to  undergo  some  alter- 
ations, in  some  instances  reconstructed  altogether,  in  order  that  no 
time  might  be  lost  in  equipping  the  students  to  meet  the  more  practical 
problems  that  war  conditions  would  give  rise  to.  Thus  during  the 
momentous  spring  of  1917,  when  a  large  number  of  America's  leading 
colleges  and  universities  were  using  a  great  deal  of  newspaper  space  to 
advise  the  public  of  their  broomstick  drill  and  shirt-sleeve  calisthenics, 
A.  and  M.,  with  its  four-year  course  in  military  science  and  tactics, 
was,  as  she  had  been  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century,  turning  out  trained 
military  men  to  command  the  khaki-clad  men  of  "Uncle  Sam."  The 
military  department  at  A.  and  M.  is  as  old  as  the  College  itself,  so 
when  the  crisis  came,  military  instruction  became  the  most  popular 
course  in  the  curriculum.  Interest  and  enthusiasm  were  high;  the 
result  of  course  is  clear — better  military  men  and  better  citizens. 

In  the  spring  of  1917,  the  R.  0.  T.  C.  unit  was  established  and  it 
attracted  a  very  large  number  of  students.  This  unit  was  later,  October 
1,  1918,  known  as  the  S.  A.  T.  C,  and  the  S.  N.  T.  C,  but  on  December 
1,  1918,  reverted  to  its  original  form,  the  R.  0.  T.  C. 

During  the  summer  of  1918  the  entire  curriculum  was  changed. 
Several  hundred  men  comprising  special  units  were  sent  here  by  the 
War  Department  for  special  instruction  in  technical  engineering  sub- 
jects. Thus  the  entire  College  was  transformed  into  an  army  training 
camp.  Not  only  were  the  engineering  departments  readjusted  to 
meet  the  needs  of  the  nation,  but  likewise  the  numerous  other  depart- 
ments swung  into  line. 

Since  the  successful  close  of  the  war  the  College  has  resumed  its 
pre-war  program  with  such  changes  as  would  tend  to  make  the  insti- 
tution more  serviceable  to  the  citizens  of  the  State,  the  citizens  of  the 
United  States,  and  the  citizens  of  the  world.

The  Mississippi  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  was  chartered 
by  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Mississippi,  February  28,  1878. 

The  doors  of  the  institution  were  formally  opened  to  the  white 
youth  of  the  State,  October  6,  1 880. 

Since  the  opening  of  the  Mississippi  A.  and  M.  College  13,016  indi- 
viduals have  received  residence  instruction  in  the  various  departments. 
Of  this  number  51  per  cent,  or  6,562  were  on  active  duty  with  the  naval 
and  military  forces  of  the  United  States  and  the  Allies  during  the  World 
War. 

1,500  degrees  have  been  conferred  on  1,449  persons — 1,432  men 
and  1  7  women. 

During  the  thirty-nine  sessions  the  College  has  been  in  operation — in- 
cluding the  present  session,  1919-1920 — the  average  annual  attendance 
has  been  817  students.

It  airit  the  guns  nor  armament 
Nor  funds  that  they  can  pay, 

But  the  close  co-operation 

That  maizes  them  win  the  day. 

It  ain't  the  individuals 

Nor  the  army  as  a  whole, 
But  the  everlastin   team-work 

Of  every  bloomin   soul. 

From  Kipling's  Verses.
